How do I get Hard Skills without getting more debt?

Apply for different jobs, one's that don't require these skills. Also, look into "testing out" on these classes: you can take the AP exams and get credit, and then say, "I didn't take those classes because I tested out on the AP exams." You can also try interning at these companies: offer them two weeks' of your time as an intern, and do other volunteer work while you're at it. You can also sign up for Peace Corps, too, and get experience that way.
