Excpet me cause I'm 18 and I need money for college. (Gotta love being born poor with high ambitions.)
Yeah, been there. Most I can suggest is the route I took. Get a night time job and go to community college during the day. It sucks, and there will be times where you do a weeks worth of assignments on Saturday and Sunday, but the degree with it.
Also, you could try the community college route with 3rd party scholarships. May be harder to get, but if you can secure them you're set for that semester. IDK what community colleges are like in your area, but in Virginia they were about 2500 a year... probably $3000 after books were factored in. Pretty affordable if you're living with your parents and working.
