Answer 1

how old are you? There are alot of scholarships grants and loans. See what you can do with that. otherwise I would recommend a community college.usual they have programs once you graduated to help you get into a four years school.

Answer 2

Hang on! Relax! The first thing you gotta realize is that EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT! My mom actually taught me that many years ago, and it really is true.

First of all, most college football teams have walk-on's. Contact ten different colleges, and ask the athletic department when walk-on try-outs are. Even if you don't make a 4-year school, go to a junior college, get all your generals out of the way, play for their team, and you could very easily get accepted to a 4-year school if you do well, maybe even with a scholarship.

Don't give up on life when you are so young, ok?

Apply for federal tuition aid, and state aid. You can still work and go to college also...it is hard, but if you are mature, you can.

Life is amazing, the twists and turns...you just never know!

Good luck.

Answer 3

well do what you got to for now and see if you can't make it somewhere at a bigger campus. with this feeling you have for the game, this working full time and and all will eat away at you evevntually and before you know it, college will be over. chances of you being a red shirt or walk on freshman are slim but if you've got the skills than why not? whatever "big" college is in your area or nearby, see if you can't get a job there. don't need to enroll there but if you have a job then you have an inside track of the ongoings of the team and sort and size up any competiiton. this way you'd still be working AND have the opportunity to see the team and even get a chance to talk to the coach. never know.....

Answer 4

My parents did not pay for my college education. There is so much money for you if you go to school. First, there are grants given to those who have little money (those you do not have to pay back -ever) Then the government has to give you student loans. those are not based on your credit. They are given to anyone who applies. All you have to do is be a full time student-3 classes or more. And if things get to hectic you can always drop a class after the semester starts. As long as you pay for three classes, you get the money. Making money can actually hurt you if you want grants. Go to the college that you would like to attend and speak to the financial aid advisor. They will tell you all that you need to know. Make sure to ask questions if you do not understand. That is what they are there for.

Answer 5

Enroll in college, try out for the football team.

WORK YOUR BUTT OFF!!

Remember, there is a less than 1% chance you can make a career out of playing football.

So, while you are in school, do well and get an education you can use in the real world. So, if you can't make a career out of playing football, you'll have an education to allow you to make a living.

Answer 6

What is football for? What benefit does it give you the future of your children? So what are you going to study in college? Football?
Life doesn't just give you one opportunity. It is a continuous stream of challenges and opportunities to do things that are useful and things that are wasteful.
The world doesn't need any more football players. You need recreation, though. The world WILL need people with skills and talents when it can't afford the stadiums and crappy beer and hotdogs anymore, though.

Answer 7

go to a junior college and tryout for the team. once you are on the team, your coach will help you get a scholar ship to a four year university playing football. If you work hard and are talented you could go pro.

Answer 8

i'm sure you have plenty of oppurtunities. football isn't the only thing in life and if you loved it so much you should not have quit. the advice i can give is try to walk on for a bad/cheap college and then see if you can transfer some where better.

Answer 9

True personal story: Many years ago a man I met wanted to humiliate me about being a Christian and he said,"I was driving out in the desert with my crazy Christian friend. It was his car and it got a flat tire. He just sat there and says, God will provide. So the mean man and friend sat there for 2 hours, and God nothing happened, so he got out and fixed the tire. He was jumping up and down at me and saying see,see,see, God does NOT ANSWER. (Do you know the punch line?) I said, Yes, God DID answer. He says, How then? I said, Who fixed the tire?"

Answer 10

Go try out at a junior college and quit whining.
