I would suggest checking with your local Technical College. That is what I decided to do here in GA. Check into that where you are. You may get assistance paying for the school, you will not be obligated to work for a particular carrier and you will not have to sign a contract or pay the money back if you don't end up staying with them. Most of what I have heard, is that when you owe the company, they take advantage of your situation and you are subject to being treated a little unfairly because you can't afford to leave them.
