So I have a bachelor's and I work full time. I used to be a runner in high school and I always wanted to be on a team again, so I decided to go back to school this upcoming semester and work part-time. I was shocked when I found out today the two schools with the major I want both do not have cross country this semester. Instead, school number three has it, but the classes there are not really what I was looking for. I REALLY want to be on a college team, it is my dream. Should I go to school three and be on a team, even with less than stellar academics, or go to one of the first two schools that have the major and classes I want, but not be an athlete? I want to prioritize the sport, but thinking about going to school to major in something I don't care about doesn't feel the best...please help me.

Pretty self explanatory, but my main questions is when I work up to the amount given by student aid (being 1600), what happens? Do I get cut off, like can I only work until I get the 1600 or is it just given to the school to help cover labor costs? I tried looking ir up couldn't find a reliable answer.

I'm at Clackamas Community College in Oregon, US if it's important

College students pursuing majors, advanced degrees or certifications in fields that consistently earn low incomes will no longer be able to take out federal loans to pay for their schooling under new Trump administration rules.

The new federal rule, finalized this month by the Education Department, comes amid a national crisis in student loan defaults. Many of the degree programs that educate social workers, artists, teacher aides and especially certification programs for barbers and nail technicians are likely to fail a new federal litmus test: Will they make more money upon graduation than if they never enrolled in the first place?
