How old are you again, with age comes resilience.
Focus on learning the rules of the CAC game and realize a lot of it is about perception.
When you alter people's perception of you a lot of times they will give you opportunities just based off of superficial BS.
I suggest you go back to school, get ANY STEM related degree from any accredited institution (don't care if it's a no name one) and then enroll in a coding boot camp then apply for IT/BI/Marketing jobs in the area. The BA/BS degree is just the first requirement. It isn't the focus however.
If you're really broke well your only option is to enroll in the army.
