Just go for a few years and get your degree in europe. Education in most countries is almost free of charge (between 100€ and 500€ a year) So you can get a degree for 7k€ (if you live relatively well if you are thrifty it will be less than that. this without working part time, this includes living expenses) per year. So in total 21k€ max. That is 23k USD(Jan, 2016 rate). That is what you would pay in 1 year in a low level college in the US, without the living expenses! (All this even if you are a foreigner) Why pay that when you can study in the Sorbonne or in the Freie Universität Berlin? There are even degrees in English. Admittedly one needs to talk the language (french, german) but it is definitely worth it. Not to talk about the experience you get for the money. PS: This is what I did, currently doing my masters degree in Engineering in France.
