[NeedAdvice] I don't think I care about school.

I don't usually make posts like this, but I know this is a topic a lot of people in my situation might shy away from. There is a lot of shame attached to this topic, and it is hard to overcome the feeling of failure that comes with openly speaking about my financial situation as well as my lack of education.

Be warned, I will be boring you with some snippets of my life story. From an early age, I grew up in an environment that was not conducive to focusing on school. As I got older, throughout my highschool years the environment was still rough, but I was privileged enough that with some discipline school was an option.
Not being accustomed to the environment, I could not see how school was relevant to me. All I could see was the ineptitude on the side of the institution when it came to settling a student like me (indigenous/impoverished/uneducated) into a normal class environment. Once that process was over, the lack of engaging work made it seem all the more pointless. Eventually, despite good grades I dropped out.
Present day, I've been trying for two months to find a new job as I am not happy with my current employer.
Last month all the employees at my workplace(myself included) had their hours severely cut.
I haven't been able to find new employment due to my lack of education.
I don't always have enough money for food and rent.
Last month I had to borrow to pay rent.
I'm not sure when I will be able to repay the loan. I can't afford to do any of the things my friends enjoy doing, thus spend a lot of my time alone. Lately playing smash. So that's nice. Luckily I noticed the trends a while back and have slowly been working my way out of it. It's been rough and it'll be rough for the next little while, but I'll happily endure the 2 years of seemingly meaningless work to complete my education in exchange for slightly better school/employment options.
On top of that, there are now things I want to do in life, that I just can't. Doors completely shut.
Your experiences in life will give life to new passions, passions you have no hope of pursuing without an education. Anyway, I hope that wasn't too preachy. That wasn't the point.
Just as I made my own choice, your decisions are ultimately your own.
I just wanted to offer my experiences to shed light on the reality of the situation, from the perspective of someone who has been down this road and is currently living with the consequences.
Best of luck to you, whatever you decide.
