Another path would be to work for a company that offers tuition reimbursement and attend school while working there. That's what I did, I only paid for the fees and books (most of which are findable online) and everything else was paid by my job. My specific company doesn't have anything regarding repayment if I leave, but a lot of companies stipulate you must work there for 1 or 2 years after graduation, which usually isn't a big deal as long as the company isn't horrible. Find a cheap community college to get as many credits as possible then transfer them to a prestigious school, or what I am doing is getting a B.S. at a cheap school then taking it to a university to get my graduate degree.

I feel for my friend who is almost 100k in debt for a 'fast track' for profit college where he got his degree faster than me but is in so much debt right now and won't repay it for many years.
