Smokey,
I think going to school is worth it because I have heard from a lot of people who haven't gotten their degrees that it is difficult to get a good job (by good job I mean one that they like and one that pays well). This isn't always true now that I think about it (I think about some artists I know and they have not gone to school and they are making money off something they love). But it is true I'd say a lot of the time. I believe that if you don't know what you want, it is a good and beneficial thing to go to college. Why? OK well here is my experience with it: I have no clue what I want to do. But if I see a job I want and the person who interviews me sees that I have a bachelor's degree, they might hire me over the person who has no degree or who only put in a few years.
The way I see it, going to school is a bitch sometimes. But if you get it over now all at once, you won't have to do it later. but I definitely understand the burden of not having enough money. you don't want to get evicted. And having a job and going to school is hard work. I hope you figure something out either way. It all depends on what you want most, if you're motivated, and what you're resources will give you.
Good luck. Let us know what you do.
