Don't you have parents for that in the US?

I'm about 5.5k miles away from the US

I don't know whether you are not actually a bot, but if you are not, getting a useful education is very valuable. I worked with someone from your country, but he was the best your country had to offer (so, if you don't consider yourself to be the smartest person in a peer group of let's say a few thousand people, don't count on you being comparable).

It is possible to make probably more money than you can even dream of, but you would probably have to leave the country for a decent education.

There are international lists of universities and you could just contact a lot of them and ask hem whether they have any Colombian students and how they got there.

These days, you could perhaps even just ask ChatGPT.

Is that your way of saying "Thanks kind stranger for giving me free advice that could mean the difference between me being financially independent at 30 or a hooker at 18. "?

No. It would be interesting to hear your thought process behind assuming my country, though.

No it wouldn't

I assume you're a vegetarian.
