How can I get more job responses?

It seems as if there is a very unlikely chance that jobs will call me back if I apply online, but the only way to apply is through different websites. How can I get more job responses /interviews back to the jobs that I apply to?

Is it wise to take a loan to go to college?

I know a lot of people who regret taking loans to go to college because they have a hard time paying it back since there is a lack of jobs for them to take advantage of. What happens if you know you just can't pay it back?

If I have spent more than 7 years away from dance, but I still love dancing is it worth it to go after a career in dance even though I'll be behind all of those people who've danced for over 15 years straight?
