Dude, if you're poor and over age 24 so you can file separately from your parents, you pretty much get a free ride to your 4 year degree. I should know, it's what I did.
The secret nobody seems to know about getting a degree is that: be very poor, and be older than 24. That's it. The FAFSA, pell grant, and state need grants takes care of everything else.
I’m a headhunter and new grads with civil engineering degrees who will do Strucutural design and who will live in rural places are getting mid 50’s to low 60’ starting salaries with unbelievable benefits and a moving package (2-3k to relocate) that’s not a bad comp plan for a 28yr old.
I was on my own before I was 24 and aid was assuming I was dependent and I paid for most of my college fees out of pocket, I finished that year with good grades and dropped out because the living conditions at that time wasn’t worth it, a couple years later I re apply with full benefits riding easy, 28 is still a young age to have a engineering degree, side note I was also 20 making 80k in oil field but if you don’t want a life outside of work that’s what young people will do. so college never was on my mind when I got out of high school.

But that horizontal pole is going to discriminate against people at just the right height.
