I want to go to college but I can't afford it, especially if I switched to part-time hours. My family can't help me.
I'm afraid to take loans because something bad might happen and I'd be in debt for the rest of my life, like my mother.
What do I do?
have you ever considered joining the military?
join the navy or air force so you don't have to worry about getting shot at (or shooting people), pick a job that teaches you a trade that seems interesting, learn some discipline, see the world, grow up a bit, and make some friends. Then in 4 years when you're done with your enlistment the government will pay for your college.

This. I'm in the Coast Guard now. When I get out I'll have all kinds of benefits and free college. Almost done too. Prior service looks good on your resume also. Not to mention I've been to some really cool places.

Can you become a doctor this way?
I don't know if I want to see the places the military would take me to.

your undergrad will be completely covered but I'm not sure about after that, you should talk to a recruiter about it
>I don't know if I want to see the places the military would take me to.
what do you mean? When I was in the navy I went to all sorts of cool places like Singapore, Thailand, Japan, South Korea a whole bunch. I was mostly in the far east but I went all over the world. As long as you don't join the army/marines you shouldn't have to worry about getting sent to war.
