College tuitions can be very high. It is important to take into consideration college tuitions along with college PROGRAM rankings, accessibility (different for all), professor qualifications, majors offered at the institutions, availability of scholarships, on-campus jobs like assistantship, residential dorm assistantship as these all come with paid boarding, meal plan and some come with free tuition. It is essential to explore all sorts of aid, scholarships, and employment opportunities available to students. This will help a lot in minimizing your college debt.

Hi, Dade. It can be quite intimidating to think about taking on huge amounts of debt to further your education. I want to make sure that you understand that there are low-cost alternatives too big, fancy expensive for your degrees that are likely very near to you. Johnson County, community college, and Kansas City Kansas community college both look to be very near to you. You will find, that community colleges offer incredibly low cost or no cost programs in areas that can lead to immediate employment. Not all jobs require a four-year degree. Many great paying jobs only require certification or a two-year associates degree from a community college, I chose to take out student loans when I went to college. It was a bet on my self. That bat turned out well for me, but it doesn't turn out great for everybody. If you were nervous about taking out a lot of student loans, I highly recommend looking into your local community colleges.
Look at the programs offered by Johnson County, community college

Hello! In-state/community colleges are much more affordable and provide many more options for assistance programs. Each college/university has its own professional network which becomes key for looking for employment opportunities post-college. In the end, college is an investment in yourself, with the idea it pays off in a suitable salary in an industry you are interested in pursuing. At a young age, it is tough to make that decision - you should feel confident in pivoting/taking time to figure out the path you want to take. If you believe the investment will not pay off for the path you are going down, then you can always explore the less expensive alternatives.
