I am trying to go back to college, but can't afford it. Are there any ways besides student loans to afford it

I won't be able to get my financial aid reinstated because I didn't appeal in time several years back. Plus, I'm 28 now, so I don't know what'll be available in regards to scholarships, etc. I can't really take student loans at this time since I've already taken some out...and well, it's a long story since I defaulted and I'm trying to get that sorted out and paid back. But anyway, I want to go back to school SO BAD! Please, any suggestions?
