There are grants and loans for college you know... I too am from an "impoverished" family; but that doesn't keep me from taking some classes.

Before, when I said "get a simple, unskilled job, and eventually get citizenship.", I meant that as a separation of questions, so I apologize for the misunderstanding. I pretty much knew I wouldn't achieve citizenship, but I still asked, like anyone would. My only concern was of getting any sort of job, and that has now been cleared up for me, so that part of the conversation is over.
I'm a peculiar person in the fact that I never had any aspirations to do anything more in my life other than simple jobs, because I don't really want to live in a middle-class life. Also, this is unrelated to the aspirations, but I was one of those people in school where the American education system didn't work for me at all. I know I'm a very intelligent person, as everyone tells me so (sorry for sounding vain), but you know...it's hard to explain. Where I'm getting with this is that even if I had the money, no college would ever want to take me, and honestly, even if I did get into a university so that I could move to Japan, I don't want to spend at that money and all that time just to get a normal unskilled job. Don't take this as me whining at you, asking for more magic solutions without a higher education, I understand everything about the process now and now have different plans. Maybe one day if I really feel like it, if I feel like making my own business and it's actually a success, I might go to college and if I still feel like it then, I may go to Japan.
But anyway, thank you for all the information. If I have any more questions, interests, or curiosities, I'll be sure to ask again
Thanks.
