I'm a freshman in college. I'm almost 19 and am dealing with a lot of mental health issues. I also most likely will not be able to afford college next semester (or will switch to community college) because I left my emotionally abusive family, who uses their financial support as a way to trap me. The last few years I've always had this goal-to eventually open my own biotechnology lab. With me having to forego treatment due to COVID, my mh is rapidly deteriorating and I'm not sure what the future looks like. I still want to open my biotech lab, but without any financial support I don't know it's possible. I make $1500 a year through work study and have virtually nothing in savings because my parents would never let me get a job (financial control). My father didn't go to school (dropped out in 7th grade) and wants me to go to college to live vicariously. I am starting to lose sight of myself and what I want. I can't tell if this education is me setting myself on fire for others or genuinely something I want. I have lots of passions that don't make a lot of money, like art and music (though I'm decent in them). I'm almost fluent in Spanish and am a very quick learner if I have a passion for it.
So with all of that in mind, I wanted to see what everyone's life experiences are if you didn't go to college. Any and all responses are appreciated :)
