<prompt> Human: Im 2 months into my final year of high school and the existential dread is finally starting to set in. I have no money saved read: unable to get a job and I turn 18 in two weeks. What can I do to get as early of a jumpstart as I can in paying for college? My dream is to go out of state I live in florida, usa, and I want to go to Uni of Colorado but I know that there will be substantial out of state fees on top of travel expenses and a higher cost of living than my itty bitty town. I have been looking nonstop for anyone that will hire me read: small town, no car cause broke parents, and minimal experience but havent been able to find anything. Still in school full time, and Im taking business classes that will hopefully be of use in the future, but financially Im utterly unprepared. Any tips?  <response>: e? My dream is to go out of state I live in florida, usa, and I want to go to Uni of Colorado Do you have extraordinary merit? If so, I would squash this idea. Paying for 2 year CC then 2 years at a four year uni in-state is hard enough. With a broke student and broke family, you cant pay the 50K per year,.
