<p>How does Bright Futures work? Will that cover tuition and room & board at an instate school? If so, then you are one lucky guy! You could get a part-time job during the school year, which ought to be enough for personal expenses and books. Those times when the dorms close and summers will be a challenge if you can’t stay in your parents’ home, but you can probably figure out a way to resolve that too. I know a kid who lives on his campus year-round. In the summers he works for the college in their janatorial dept. It pays enough to support himself over the summer – he has to pay a modest rent to live on campus during the summer, and he earns enough on top of that for food and whatnot.</p>
<p>And then there are camp counselor jobs which pay and give you a place to live and eat as part of the deal. I’m sure there are other options as well.</p>
