I like what CPA said. Find a job and get really good at it. Be a plumber, get good at it, start your own business, grow it, make it as big as you want. I know a guy out here, started as an iron worker. Got really good, became a foreman. Got tired of the politics, started his own company, got noticed, picked up a big job. Did great work on that job, got a nice contract building cell phone towers. Now worth about a billion dollars, I don't think he's older than 45.
Real good at his job, very determined, didn't say "no" when new projects were presented that he didn't know how to do. He said, "I can do that", then figured it out and did a great job. Very nice guy to boot, not pretentious, but I would absolutely NOT piss him off. He is a real Honey Badger.
