Well hell, you may be able to skip college (if you so chose to). Not suggesting you do, but it may be an option for you.

im at the point where i dont think i'd do well in an interview, so if I can go to school for free, get paid enough money to cover my bills at the same time, and learn more than I know now... it's not a bad idea to do school

Agreed. Didn't want to inquire on your financial situation, if you were in dire straits - not going and taking a job now may have been a good option. Doesn't sound like the case here.

Could you go anywhere on the GI Bill or are you set on Cambridge College? I ask because Western Governors is supposed to have a pretty good online program and they have ties to incubator programs at various fortune 500 companies.

If I attend classes in person they give me $3,081 a month to pay for bills

So unfortunately I can’t do WGU. Definitely looked into it tho

It doesn’t have to be Cambridge, I just can’t find schools I can to in person that offer a Cybersecurity program.

There’s one at Wentworth but it’s more like a Comp Sci degree with a shit ton of advanced math that I can’t do lol
