May I also suggest finding some individuals who are already in the field. Let them know that you want to go in that career direction and would appreciate any suggestions on your education and what steps to take to get you there. You may be surprised at what kind of educations that they have. This is one thing that I did when I was deciding whether or not to go into elementary education. I got lots of advice that I still remember and use even now. Those who are already in the field won't view you as competition and are usually glad to share what they've learned.
You don't necessarily have to go to a specialized and consequently more expensive school. You said you're going to secondary education - What kind of education have you had up until now?? College prep, any college classes at all? Must you get a visa to attend college? Might you get a work visa and take night classes to begin with? Every class you take is a step in the right direction. Don't worry about the total cost to begin with because in 2 years that can change dramatically. Take one year at a time.
Look for an internship or apprentice type of position or just be an assistant for someone in the field you desire. You will learn a lot along the way.
