ANYBODY can go to college here in the USA if they really want to and can find a place to go that os affordable and a good college as well. Hell, I worked full time for a good portion of my time in school. I had one year where I worked full time at a casino an hour and a half from where I went to school.
There are a TON of resources to get money for school and it's worth the money you spend to get that degree.
I'm fortunate to live in a state with one of the best state school systems
http://www.wisconsin.edu/ in the country. We have a series of two year center schools around the state where students can get their associates before transfering to a 4 year university to complete their education. There are a myriad of options for people to go to school, people just have to take the time to learn them and take advantage of them and not whine if they have to work while going to school.
