WGU: $6k/semester. Online. If you already know everything in a CS curriculum and have the practical knowledge (e.g. databases, ds&a, calc/discrete, front-end, back-end, OSes, etc.) you can finish in one semester by testing out.

Low income? Go into sales or work in an oil field or go be a lineman for a year. Save $100k, go to school after.

If you live in Washington state, I know you know linemen are in demand.

If you’re able-bodied: this is a viable path. Risky? Yes, but that’s life.
