Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
You can definitely go to college here but international tuition is usually like triple the price of a state resident. It can be pretty costly. Public universities are always cheaper than private ones. And different states are more expensive than others too. So you really need to look around.
You can check out colleges in areas or fields you are interested in and they list their tuition online. They will also tell you what they application deadlines and requirements are. That will give you an idea of how long it will take.
Another option is to do some of your studies at a community college. They are usually cheaper and easier to get into. But you can usually just get an associates degree there not a full college degree (that takes 4 years).
Miami might interest you. There is a huge latin community here and the cost of living isn't that high. Miami dade community college is huge and I think they DO offer 4 year degrees there.
Texas also has a cheap cost of living and inexpensive schools- also a big latin community.
But your decision should also be based partly on what field of study you are interested in since different schools have different programs.
As far as jobs, I'm pretty sure you can get a job while you're here on a student visa, if that's what you mean. It won't be a high-paying job probably, but it can help.
To get a high-paying job in the US you really should have a college degree so I would definitely go to school if you can. Besides, the economy is not good right now for looking for jobs.
