<prompt> Human: Im going to enter my sophomore year of college and because of a family falling out, my parents have pulled their financial support for my college, which costs me with scholarships into consideration 40k a year. Whats the best way to go about this? I have only about 4k in my own money, and Ill get another 3k with my summer work minus all expenses during the time. Id love to declare independence and get more aid but it seems Im too young too and not homeless enough. Is there any loophole I can use or anything, no matter how brute force relationship obliterating it is? Is it really feasible for me to reliably get 40k in loans a year for three years or am I going to have to hope for scholarships? Any advice on loan providers is extremely appreciated.TL:DR: All legal options are on the table besides dropping out of college or transferring. Assistant: TL:DR: All legal options are on the table besides dropping out of college.Transfer to a cheaper college. 120k of debt for an undergraduate degree is not worth it unless you are going to a top tier school, e.g. Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etcHuman: That is the case, so transferring out isnt in my plan eitherAssistant: Whats your intended major?Human: Does the school specifically matter? Major is Chem-e.  <response>: It does, but I dont need to know it because you can do this calculation by yourself.Go to the career center at your school and find out the distribution of starting salaries for Chem-E undergraduate majors.Compare this to the starting salaries for Chem-E undergraduate majors at a cheaper state school.Thats how you decide whether 120k of loans is worth it.
