in response to young...   Young, I suggest you enroll in a college with a dormitory. Apply for federal student aid. Go to social services and apply for food stamps and welfare. I did all of these things myself and I was able to earn a BS degree in education. Also, if you do become a teacher, your federal student loans are forgiveable. Do NOT go to an expensive school. A degree is a degree as long as your school is accredited. Make the most of your college years: choose a lucrative profession that you will enjoy doing for about 30 years.
