If you want to go to college, you want to learn, you want to

You need to think about what you want to study & find a school that is  
strong in that program. Perhaps from ur current job you have gained an  
understanding of what you do/don't want to be doing, what skills &  
strengths you have, & what you enjoy in the working world.  
 
Money is tight now (do you need that truck? Can you get by with a less  
expensive apartment & vehicle?) & it may be even tighter while you are a  
student. But if you have a long-term goal in mind, a few years of  
financial struggle would be worth it. Also, if you are currently  
supporting yourself, you may be eligible for a decent financial aid  
package. Never know unless you ask.  
 
It sounds like you don't particularly like ur job & you are just getting  
by. Not a way to live for the long term so yes, find a way to make a  
change & go for it!  
 
Good luck.

College isn't the answer to everything & you might well come

useful to him/her through doing specialized courses which you'd be more  
than willing to do.  
 
I am not quite sure how you can afford truck payments but not a bra --  
attractive though nipples sticking out are, unless ur breasts are very  
small & nipples relatively undeveloped, it doesn't quite fit the image of  
the average attorney is office very well. Unless you're flat-chested,  
probably better get a bra before you go to see ur boss.
