NURSES!?

Hi all, im 26 and a college dropout. I couldn’t afford to be in college when I was 19 so ended up dropping out and working instead. I’m now deeply depressed because I can’t afford anything and I can’t get a good job because of my lack of education. I want pursue a nursing degree because I wanted to be a nurse from the moment I graduated highschool but I am so so so so scared of focusing on school instead of work. I do not come from money and I’m unable to get loans because I am on daca. But I know the only way to get a better job is by getting an education. So my question to all my nurses on here is: how did you do it? How did you get your nursing degree while being on daca? I’m truly so scared of putting my all into nursing when I can barely afford to live right now! I wish I could take out loans and focus mainly on school but unfortunately that isn’t a reality for me. Ugh please help I am so scared that I’m making a mistake by trying to pursue an education that wouldn’t even matter if something were to happen to me! submitted by /u/chapo578 to r/DACA [link] [comments]
