<prompt> Human: Hey Reddit,Before we start, I have checked the search bar.Im using a throwaway, as some of my family uses Reddit. Im in a tough place right now. Currently a senior, I will be attending an in-state university next year in the State of Oregon. Recently, my parents told me they wouldnt be paying for college, and will be kicking me out after I graduate high school.My parents divorced in 2006 and I live with my mother about 75 of the time. My mom remarried, but my father hasnt. I still see my father frequently, and we keep a good relationship. My mother and step-dad are both well off financially. They are both doctors. She is very controlling, and has set strict limits of what I can and cant do in college. Im not particularly worried about this, because once I leave high school, I dont plan on returning home.My father owns a business, and it stays busy most of the year. However, in total, my father makes around 15.00 an hour. On top of that, he is supporting my grand parents, and brothers private school tuition high school. He pays child support, but will stop after I turn 18.I chose my college because its far from Portland, but not too far. My GPA isnt good enough to get a scholarship, but my ACT scores are above average. Without FAFSA or a loan, I think Im fucked.Is there anyway I can force them to:a cosign a loanb help me with FAFSA?c am i fucked?Thanks a lot,I really appreciate it!Assistant: You cannot force your parents to co-sign a loan or help you with college. If your parents wont help you, you might have to work and go to a community college first. Human: Hmm. Okay, I currently do have a job, but dont have much saved up. I dont really want to prolong college put it off, so maybe community college is a good option.  <response>: Go by the Air Force recruiting office, get literature. Get a study book for their placement test. Leave this stuff around the house.Ask you mom about what stations for foreign deployments sounds most interesting... Understand and discuss the great GI Bill benefits.Perhaps mom will be more flexible once she understands you are motivated to solve this challenge they have given you.If you seriously consider this then get help on how to find the right jobcareer plan within the military before signing up.I was miserable in high school and did great once I was at community college and beyond.
