College loans can kick azz if you choose the wrong degree or change majors a few times. Do some research and see if there's potential growth in your field. First off start with financial aid and scholarships. Depending on the state you are living in there's also state scholarships for minorities. If you're working at a good place they'll have grant money for their employees.
Take the initiatives to do volunteer work and internships if you can. It's always a plus in your resume. College is not for all but in the end when you walk that stage (I never did
) you should feel rewarded.
