Times have changed. What was possible for us, isn't always possible for others in the current generation.

You could go to college and pay for it entirely with a minimum wage job just a few decades ago, but that's impossible now.

That said, knowing more about your predicament would help. Do you have a friend who has a job where you are? Perhaps you could get a job with a similar schedule and carpool.
