When I was in College, I applied for lots and lots of scholarships. I made $1000 for about 3 hours of paperwork, probably less.

Just graduate as fast as possible. You should aim for 5 semesters. Take extra units and summer classes. Don't waste your time doing shitty McJobs for minimum wage when you'll make 5x the amount out of college. Take out loans if you need the money.

My goal of this post is maybe find a way to go to school without alone. Debt does me extreme stress to the point I cant sleep at night. Ive always paid cash for cars. Loans really scare the shit out of me. The could be a life sentence if it doesn't work out in the long run.

I'm returning to school and doing community college this time for something better, nearly 10 years later. I suggest looking at CLEP classes to soften the damage and apply nonstop for scholarships. If you're not white, you have plenty to look for. Even if it's $500, if you're the only one who applies, it's yours and that's $500 less to worry about. Also try to work somewhere that offers tuition reimbursement. Most offer it even for part-timers.
