My question to you is, "Just how badly do you want to be a photographer?" You can get a used manual 35mm SLR with a lens for under $100.00. You can get an old Yashica 124 Mat G twin lens reflex for under $100.00.
If you really want to become a photographer, you can certainly find a way to earn a couple of hundred dollars to buy an old camera and some film.
Keep at it, keep saving, and upgrade your equipment when you can, but you don't need a $2,000 camera with a $1,000 lens in order to become a photographer.

You will need a camera. You will need to save your money and buy one...
If you're ambitious, you can do it! It could take you many years to realize your goal as there is a lot of talented people out there.
Push on though... You're lucky to be in the land where dreams come true with hard work and persistence... America!

Two words... Pinhole Photography
Really good for those who want to enter in the photography world.
It's cheap because you make your own camera and develop your own film/photographic paper (if you want).

With difficulty. You could think about hiring but this is usually pretty expensive and big deposits may be required. Have you looked on e-bay for a camera? There are often bargains, particularly of manual film cameras.

Without a camera, how can you be a photographer? Unless you find someone who is willing to give you a camera, your sunk.
That's like asking a stone sculptor how to carve stone without a hammer and chisel!

Why not try to get a job primarily as a salesperson in a studio? Many department stores have in-store studios. Many of them also offer training and certification programs while you work. You could be working, training and saving for equipment all at the same time.

get to work. save up. take photos - and don't expect to be a full fledged photographers in no time. Even with years of experience, I still take photos as a side job.

The same way you become a mechanic without tools. Work for somebody who has them.
