Do applying as undeclared hold you back from graduating from a university in four years?

How am I supposed to pay for tuition without going into debt?
I’m on my own when it comes to the college experience, and I really don’t want to be in debt for the rest of my life all because I wanted a better education. FAFSA can only cover so much of the tuition, how am I supposed to manage being a full time student as well as a full time employee?...
How are we supposed to build credit, without a credit score ?
