If you are worried about going to college because money is an issue, then you have to consider working for some fast food chain. Others usually resort to getting a student loan, but not everybody thinks it is wise to do that. Not only could the interest rate get high, but you are probably going to still pay for it by the time you file for retirement. To spare yourself from going broke and being in debt all your life, applying for a job in the food industry won't be such a bad idea at all.
Being employed for a minimum wage salary is not a bad decision to save up for college. It is better than having to pay immediately using student loans because it is going to be a long burden to carry until you have fully paid the money you borrowed. You could take a year off to save up while working at a fast food chain or a coffee shop.
