The tuition fees are probably a bigger expense than your living expenses if you go to college in USA.

Here in North Carolina, the flagship state universities are still only about $10k/year or less for tuition. If the student lives at home with their parents, it really wouldn’t be difficult to pay most of their way through school. College is expensive in general but it doesn’t have to be as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.

Please tell me how a full-time student can fairly easily earn 10 grand a year (plus books, clothing, phone bill, entertainment, laptop, etc)?

It's not uncommon where I live for parents to save to pay for their children's education. Believe it or not, the government even gives you money if you do that.
EDIT: That said, the US has plenty of good paying software jobs. You can pay back your loans even if you don't work for Google. I'm sure this isn't easy for everyone (especially these days).
