don't let the cost of college determine your track in life....that is just an excuse....there are a ton of ways to get a college degree....I personally worked three jobs while at school and got loans each semester. It took me 5 years to get my degree, but I am so much richer now and have my own business, if I did not get a degree, I would still be punching a time clock make 40K a year.

In two years out of college you will have the loans paid off, and then you will have 50 years of making so much more....go to COLLEGE dude! the job market right now is horrible, so now is the time to go to school......you are 19 years old, you have 50 plus years to make money, you are only beginning you life.....build your foundation in education!
