Would you really want or could you really handle being a celebrity?

I am 23 now and I am just getting my GPA up (and doing well with that!) at community college before transferring to a local university. I really wasn’t focused when I was younger but now I know I want to do. I know I will major in English or Journalism and get a minor in Art History or Politics probably. I’d like to write or edit later on. I don’t have money problems. Not much debt at all but no major savings to dip into and I make very little as a bank teller. Financial aid covered most of my classes this time. Next year if I get it in earlier it will likely cover everything BUT I have to work harder than other students. I require more study time than others. I guess I am a slow learner. The big issue is this: I will eventually need to work only part time to get school finished without spending 12 years on it. How can I ever afford basic living, even if I do it cheaply, with just a part time job? I’m very worried. Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it!

‘You’ve got only a couple thousand bucks in the bank. Your job pays you dog-food wages. Your credit history has been bent, stapled, and mutilated. You declared bankruptcy in 1989. Don’t despair: You can still buy a house.” So began an April 1995 article in the Chicago Sun-Times that went on to direct prospective home-buyers fitting this profile to a group of far-left “community organizers” called ACORN, for assistance. In retrospect, of course, encouraging customers like this to buy homes seems little short of madness.
AND
Finally, in June of 1995, President Clinton, Vice President Gore, and Secretary Cisneros announced the administration’s comprehensive new strategy for raising home-ownership in America to an all-time high. Representatives from ACORN were guests of honor at the ceremony. In his remarks, Clinton emphasized that: “Out homeownership strategy will not cost the taxpayers one extra cent. It will not require legislation.” Clinton meant that informal partnerships between Fannie and Freddie and groups like ACORN would make mortgages available to customers “who have historically been excluded from homeownership.”
