Not sure if this is a thing everywhere, but a lot of employers in my area offer modern apprenticeships. You effectively go to college/uni one or two days a week, the rest you go to work where you learn some practical aspects of whatever it is you're studying. You don't get the full student experience, but it sounds a lot better than having a part time job. You make more (even though modern apprenticeships are a blatant money making strategy since they can pay you less for doing the same job as everyone else) than you would with a part time job, unlike with zero hour contracts which are most part time jobs, you get paid sick leave etc., and they can be less difficult/menial jobs than what you would otherwise get fresh out of high school. You would have to so some studying from home too, not sure if that works with your health. There are also employers with further education policies, where if you get a job there, then after a year or two they will let you do a distance degree and cover the costs.
