Shawn’s Answer

Consider attending a university outside of the United States. The US has the most expensive college system of all the developed countries and atending an out of country program also allows you to broaden your horizons. If you don't want to go too far, look at a Canadian university. Otherwise, there are lots of great programs in Asia and Europe.

Things are a bit more challenging now than they were 20 or 30 years ago, but there are ways to make it easier. Summer internships can be a great help, especially if you use the money you earn for your education. You might also consider a part-time job during the school year. Your college's financial aid office can guide you to on-campus jobs or work-study options. Scholarships can be tough to get, but it's worth starting with local ones. Think about what makes you unique—maybe a parent is a veteran, or you have a specific ethnic background. Your chosen field of study might also offer scholarships. Use a reliable scholarship search service or AI to find opportunities that fit you.

Liam’s Answer

I am going to recommend finding a company that is willing to subsidize your education. There will be other recommendations here that may be better for you but consider companies like Amazon and Starbucks have low entry level position requirements but pay for college classes. I use Amazon and Starbucks as an example because I know they have the tuition programs but there are other similar companies that do as well. Work with your career councilor and see if you can get scholarships, grants, and any other money because there is a chance they are available as well. Military is also another option. If you get in a division of military that can assist your career and degree you can end up with time on the job as well as a degree after you are discharged (or retire).
