You can achieve your goals. You only need to go half time to get federal aid. If you haven’t completed two years, you can finish at community college, get good grades, and transfer to a state u (our state has automatic transfer with priority registration, coming out of community collelge).

Alternatively you can join a degree completion program at many schools, or just attend part-time. Lesley University has an adult learner program as does BU, in my area.

It is fine to work (working helped one of mine stay organized) and take 2 classes. Two classes generally gets aid in our experience.

Two of my kids went the traditional route and my third just graduated at 32 and worked all during their 20’s. It is working out fine. You can do it!
