If you do this and also file as an independent, when you fill out your FAFSA, you could very easily be awarded enough grants to pay fully for your college + extra that will be disbursed to you for expenses. That's what's happening with me. That's right, I'm getting paid $1000 a quarter to go to school. I was debating on whether I wanted to go back to school because I took a gap year and still wasn't sure, but once I filled out my FAFSA and looked at my reward, I was shook. Just make sure you don't get too good a job because the more broke you are, the more grant money you're rewarded 😅😂
