<p>I don’t see a problem with your plan. You are not ready to get what you want to get out of school. You don’t have the funds to pay for school. You have a plan regarding what you will do in the meantime, which includes earning money to pay for your degree. </p>
<p>My nephew went to school because he was supposed to go to school. He left in his final semester because he didn’t want to “be” what he was studying to be, he was stressed out, and he had maxed out his student loans. He’s been driving as a long-haul trucker for the past year and has repaid his loans. He is not quite ready to go back to school, but he will. In the meantime, he is going to travel a bit and try to figure out what he wants to do with his life. He is 24. Really, that is SO very young!!! You are doing somewhat the opposite of what he did … leaving school near the beginning instead of near the end, and paying off the loans you plan to work to avoid borrowing. I think it can work just fine.</p>
