My advice is go to a Community College while you work on your portfolio and skills and focus on passing whichever Gen Ed’s you struggle with. Take one class a semester if you have to.

I kinda just can't. I need to leave state now-ish. I could go to another state's college and take out loans and stuff like that, but I don't think you get good healthcare while unemployed. (I don't know if I could work and do college at the same time. I destroyed myself being unemployed in a single college semester before dropping out.)

Do you have any paid freelance experience?

No, I've only ever worked at a grocery store, and am currently trying to get a job at another grocery store. Lol.

Employed under someone else. A friend brought it up, since he does it as a dropped-out person.

The truth is that I kinda fucked up my life early-on, and I don't really know what I'm doing. I kinda just don't like doing anything at-all and need money, and grew up on computers. Always troubleshooting friends/families problems, making websites in highschool, etc.

I'm kinda just megafocused on the short-term right now, since "imminent survival to move-out so I can better transition" is mattering more to me than the grander scheme of programming stuff.
