going to school and living on aid is actually quite easy and practical. I did it when I returned to college at the age of 30. What happens that makes it work is that after 25 you are a non traditional student which opens you up to a whole new world of grants, loans and scholarships. I was getting $13k a year and only half of that was borrowed. Education is an investment in yourself, so it is worth the loans.
Also, do what makes you happy. I did what made money and was miserable, so I went back to school and now I am doing what I enjoy. Sure things are tight, but I can look forward to going to work and I can be proud of what I do. As ricky nelson said, you cant please everyone, so ya gotta please yourself.
