Hey Star,
This will depend on a couple of things:
1. How many classes you take each semester
2. How many majors/minors you want to complete
4. Which college you go to/what their requirements are
(most require 120 credit hours for a bachelor's degree I believe)
On average, a bachelor's degree takes about 4 years.
However, working while going to school, taking extra classes, taking a lighter class load, doing summer classes, etc can speed up or slow down that timeline.
For the money aspect, look at unique scholarship opportunities inside and outside the college (try for scholarships at your school, but don't limit yourself to those!). Also, see if any grants are offered! That's free money! If you want to be an entrepreneur, look into competitions that you can present ideas in for funding. A lot of times, there are opportunities that are worth only a little money that people pass up because it "isn't worth it." Plus, as an entrepreneur building your skills at presenting and winning funding will be essential!
Best,
John

It’s a fairly basic degree. If you have taken college prep classes in high school, and you are willing to push through Summer terms you could finish in 3 1/2 years fairly easily.
Ask your High school counselor
