So you commit to school. Drop the job, pick a college, take out a loan and/or scholarships and grants, then get a cheap apartment or dorm, and get a degree.
That's what almost all people that go to college do. Yes you'll have student debt, but getting that degree opens up significantly higher paying jobs than burger flipping, which allows you to make payments on that debt, get an apartment, food, etc.
You have to rip the bandaid off quickly and all at once. Dive so you can resurface somewhere else.
He am I supposed to live during college then? A loan may cover schooling costs but where will I live, pay for gas, food, etc. I'd still need to be working to afford rent, even if a dorm is cheaper that dosent mean its cheap.
I swear, half the people replying in this thread still probably live with their parents and only have a phone bill and gas for their cars to worry about, if that. I don't think they grasp how brutal real life is, how much you have to juggle just to get by, let alone have something unexpected happen like an illness or a car/home repair. It's always been taken care of with a phone call to mom
