Learn how to program and teach yourself how to do some really solid data analysis. In today's economy it's a decent investment of time. You should be able to get some good paying work after a year or two of hard practice. The amount you get paid per hour matters when you are in school so you still have time to study.

Once you have those skills go for a degree (or major in CS+statistics/math and take out loans — not hard to pay those off with internships or a few dips into industry if you're a math/CS major).

You can probably earn good money on the side that way, or, if you're interested in research you'll likely have an easy time finding a lab with those skills. In my experience, researchers from nearly every field basically froth at the mouth for a person who understand math and programming. Sometimes they literally seek us out and dump some truly amazing datasets on our laps.

Easy way to get some nice experience early in your academic career. Not to mention, it's a great way to get your name on a bunch of publications early on... Good publications are the sort of thing top-tier PhD programs look for.
