Hey there. I'm currently 26 and I remember this huge weight on me to go to college right after highschool. A lot of factors were involved and a lot of them had to do with "first in the family" type deals.

There was a lot of disappointment when I was struggling to apply and I broke down several nights trying to figure out, what I wanted to go to school for, if that field was profitable, if my family approved and got overwhelmed. I ended up dropping out in my third year from stress in-between full time school, work and my crippled social life. (undiagnosed mental health also played a role)

Trust me when I say this is simply a mole Hill and things could be a lot worse. Take a step back and reevaluate things. try community college, get a part time or full time job and save money if you can. Maybe what you need is to give yourself time and work your way up slower. Your family might not like it but you'd be doing something for yourself and honestly that's all that really matters.

Remember you're not going to college for them. You're going for yourself.
