Second Bachelors?

If I decide to do a second Bachelor's degree, what are my best options? I am still a dependent, so my max loan limit per year is much lower than I need to fund my degree. I also don't have a cosigner or any other sources of money, but a job.

Would I even be able to get federal loans as a dependent or independent without a co-signer, if I have no credit?

I want to add that with Option 1, I'd still be taking out federal loans for a dependent student only.

With option 2, still taking out federal loans second year as a dependent student only.

With option 3, no or minimal loans when I finally am an independent student and enroll, but can take out more loans if necessary so I won't have to work FT in college. Longest option!

With option 4, taking out private and federal loans as a dependent and working PT immediately.

I'd like to hear suggestions regarding this matter as well. Currently, my plan is to use federal aid to pay for tuition and private loans (either from a student credit union or Wells Fargo) for living expenses in addition to having a part-time job.
