Work full-time and take 1-2 classes on nights and weekends at your local community college.

  They'd love full-time; it's just not offered. One is taking classes at the community college, but the classes are apparently very poor quality and still around $3500 a semester (her annual income is ~$9000 / year). I told her to take Computer Science classes, but is that even good advice, anymore?

    The challenge with community college is that you really need to push ahead of the average student, skip intro classes to accelerate yourself, etc. community college, due to the population that attends, has two sets of courses: (1) specific courses that feed into specific jobs, like dental hygenish, and (2) remedial gen ed space-filling courses to round out the degree. If you are looking for the equivalent of reputable liberal-arts degree (the closest you can get to a "liberal sciences" or engineering degree), you need to find the most advanced gen ed classes and skip over the remedial/basics... and then after 2-3 years transfer to another college for your BA/BS; hopefully with an academic scholarship backed by your poverty and stellar grades so far.
