might be going back to school next semester to major in something that actually makes money

I assume that with the amount of money I make a year being "not very much" I'm under the threshold but I'd like to make sure. anyone have an idea? I googled it but only a bunch of websites letting me know what the max pell grant is.

No idea. Might depend on your parents' income too, depending on the program.

Actually, here's a chart. Now I guess you'd just need to calculate EFC. Which based on personal experience, can be surprisingly high even with negative income.

Tell me about it. My first semester they were willing to give me an amount in the three digit range despite the fact that I literally had no disposable income and was in fact losing money just working, let alone going to school as well. I don't even know how I turned that around, because they calculated the EFC for me, but it got better after that first semester.

Cool thanks. Do I still need to worry about EFC if I'm above some age? I'm 25 and in no way connected to any family member financially.

At 25 you're fine. You're too old for your family's finances to be applied to you.
