I agree with wickedwings - there are lots of pathways through college. You do not have to put up with abuse.

First - go to the financial aid office of your university and start filling out paper work. Find out what you are eligible for now and what criteria you may need to have to get financial aid later.

Explore if your university offers a co-op program where you can be placed within employment situations within your field of study. A great opportunity to earn some money plus get experience that counts towards your degree.

Many companies offer partial payment of college classes that lead to a degree. Perhaps you could take an entry level position within the business community with such a company and take night classes.

Don't settle for abuse just because you need money for school. The price is too high.
