You don’t need an education as much as you need a skill. Good friend of mine had two daughters, both wanted to be cosmetologists after high school. So, that’s where he sent them. Both have a skill, both have jobs, both are happy.
IF you want a college degree and can’t afford it without a loan, work in a trade and get as much of your schooling as possible through wgu.edu.
This is especially applicable for getting past non-technical required courses. If you work hard, you can knock out many, many classes within a week if you are willing to read.
The only thing I wish I did differenty was go to a trade school first then college. Maybe to learn to be an EMT or SurgTech. My nephew went to tech school to learn AutoTech now maKes more money than his his pointy headed Ph.D. sister.
Btw, I think one of the greatest measure of success is when you say “I can’t believe they pay me to do this”
