When I lived in Michigan education for in-state was close to 25k
There's no way that's correct. The only public school who would be even close to that is the University of Michigan.

I was completely wrong. U of M was about 13k a year and it was Ohio State that was over 25k a year. My mistake

I'm going to be paying school loans off for ~12 years and where I work I share job titles with 2 other people who got hired without a related degree. I fell for college.. I am a victim of college.

the thing I have found, atleast in my field, is that most of the companies hiring entry level have some sort of tuition reimbursement benefit. almost every company i have worked for in the past 4-5 years have had such a program.
most of the time they just require 1 year of working there first

lol state schools aren't always cheap either, 10-15k a year for a lot in my area.
I dropped out of college, it wasn't worth it. I make almost $20/hr doing something totally out of left field from what i was studying.
If you feel its too much to handle right now, take some time off, and work.
Nobody is forcing you to go.
