career problems ahead for maxwell

[Maxwell.]

okay so I'm 16, 17 in a week, and I have for a while been thinking about college and getting a degree in aerospace engineering and doing the course, all that jazz. however an opportunity has popped up recently that puts me through college and pays me to do it for 3 years so I can get my degree and experience in the sector, which means as soon as I come out of college I'll be employed, this sounds good because it's college with added benefits, what this means is for 3 years I'll get my college and stuff paid by BAE (the folks running the apprenticeship),

this course is in england, specifically blackpool

I live far as hell away from there, I also read they won't pay my accommodations for living near the college and there's no way in hell I'm doing 300 miles everyday to blackpool and back, long story short I'll have to stay very far away from home and only 17 years old

I think they pay me, I'm gonna ask if they do, but even then it's far from home and I'm 17 and I'd have to pay for everything except college down there or at least I think, I'm not sure how things work in england

but my parents are completely happy to put me through this, it isn't costing them anything but a one way bus fair at least, but that brings me onto another thing where I can't drive yet but that might be sorted within a year? I don't know

I was considering college up until this, now this sounds better and I do want to do it but the thing that's putting me off is the financial burden of living by myself on my own far from home, I have literally 0 idea on how to do that and the alternative option is get the exact same degree here in scotland closer to home but there's a few problems with that

1) no aerospace industry jobs up here, so I'll have to move to england anyway

2) it's not an apprenticeship, so if I do get the degree I'll have a harder time finding jobs without actual experience

another alternative option is changing my degree to electrical engineering, but both interest me

TL;DR I'm at a standstill with 3 routes, college at home, college far from home on my own with barely any knowhow on how to survive and paying for my own living space, and a complete degree change to something easier to get into

either route I'm getting college for free, it's just finding jobs is the hardest part

if you go to college far away, are you expected to just. pay for your living expenses? how much would that cost

dunno, I'm completely unsure of how expensive it is in england compared to scotland, I've only been there once in my life

Move to USA.

the thing is I'm actually considering doing this after I get the degree, but that's an even bigger financial burden right now and I'm completely unsure how citizenship works

Maxwell, you should move to the US. It's easy to be a citizen too.

Become a U.S. Citizen through Naturalization

Citizenship identifies an individual's national origin. It defines his/her rights and responsibilities to that country (nationality). Most people have only one country of citizenship, but some can have dual nationality. U.S. citizens can be native-born, foreign-born, or naturalized. They owe their allegiance to the United States and are entitled to its protection.

To become a U.S. citizen, you must:
Meet certain eligibility requirements.
Be a legal permanent resident of the United States.
Go through the naturalization process
