I have and I did! I had to work my way through it and yes it was a huge!!! struggle! BUT well worth my time, energy, effort and money! I make twice as much money if not 3 times as much. I could support my family of 3 by myself if I had to and all because I struggled for a few years. Look into loans for low income, grants, and scholarships. The financial aid office at the college institution can help you out with those and also with self pay options too! I am so proud of you considering bettering yourself with education! Please follow through! Best wishes to you and good luck! P.S. I also made some really great friends in college that I wouldn't have even known and they are still great blessings in my life!

I would definitely pursue. There are many ways to get a college degree. You may not finish it in 4 yrs straight but you can definitely, get to finish in due time...
For some getting a grant helps, or a financial aid. But if you don't want not to, but rather pay your own, then, prolly being a working student will be a good idea.. It's not the ideally the best one, but it helps if you don't want to end up having this big debts hovering around you after you've finished college.
Another thing is that.. if you're only in your teens, have your parents (assuming they're both still alive) to participate at their company's 401 K plan. Eventually they'll be able to pull some monies for your education.
There are ways and means out there. You just have to be resourceful... You don't want to be stagnant do you and you want to have a good career in life...
hope this helps and good luck!

I would take 5 years or so off to save up money, then pursue a college degree. Working 5 years you should be able to save up 50K, which is more than enough for a state school for 2 years and and a county college for 2 years. It depends on your state though, and where you will live.

Of course. Always pursue your dreams. Most people don't have the money to pay for college straight out of their pockets. That's why you apply for financial aid and take out college loans. They usually have very low set interest rates so you can pay them back after college with your big fancy job and high paying salary that you will never get without a degree.

I sure would. Education makes you a stronger person in the end. Plus I bet about 90% or more of college students can't afford to be going to school. Their parents most likely can't afford it either.

Most people have. I have and still doing so. Student loans is the greatest/best debt you will ever have in your life.
