Hi, hope everyone's doing well.
I'm 18 and I've just finished college. My ideal plan is to go to university and study (only way I can be in the career I want to be) in september 2020. However, I have realised that student loans are haram. Some are saying it's permissible to take a student loan, however, others argue it isn't due to the interest. Because of this, I'm not sure what to do anymore. I have no other option for my tuition fees to be paid as I don't have any family who could help me. I only live with my mother, who's unemployed. The rest of my "family" we don't talk to. I don't have a job myself as it's so difficult to get one these days, I have been applying, yet none seem to get back to me. I genuinely wouldn't mind working full-time and save up until I have enough money to go to university, however, the problem with this is what if I don't even get a full-time job? It's actually so hard these days, I'm 18, just left school, no experience whatsoever. I know that instead of going to university one can do an "apprenticeship" but I don't want to do an apprenticeship, plus the job I want, the only way to get in is through having a degree.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do?
