A old friend of mine figured out how to do it and got one fairly easily and quickly. He is very smart but never wanted to get a higher education until he was in his 30s. Unfortunately the day before he was to start classes he changed his mind and never went and continued living at his mom's house. So much for being "smart".

Start off with Community (2 year college). Then transfer out. 3Hotdogs Sep 2019 #8

The CC route is a good strategy as it will also give more time to find funds after transferring to.. brush Sep 2019 #9
