Are you sure you can't get loans for college somewhere?
Failing that, can you actually code? If you make contributions on GitHub and stuff some recruiter will find you.

If you are thinking about the military you can serve in the reserves and get financial help with your degree. Probably difficult to do that and work full time, but if your parents let you live at home and cover food it would be doable.
