Not the person you were direction directing the question to, but scholarships, student loans, and working while in college are still very much a thing.

Not necessarily?

A degree can give you the tools you need, but applying that information can be a whole different story. Not quite the same, but I'm in law school. They give me the tools to do lawyerly things but they don't actually teach me how to be a lawyer, I have to figure that out for myself (or learn through internships, externships, clerkships, etc.). Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you actually know what you're doing.

Okay, but if you don't know how to get your app off the ground and running - which requires skills like communication, marketing, etc. - then you aren't going to get far.
