College is an institution built for those with no skills to be useful in an environment where no skills are needed. As such you will learn that many big companies are phasing out colleges. College doesn't teach you how to think rather what they feel you should think ergo they are less and less helpfully in today's world. College grads are more likely to work for McDonald's than they are to work for somewhere big. I went to a year of college (of which I wasn't credited due to their bullshit) and yet most people in my situation are doing incredibly well.
Here is what you do.
Learn something. Really well.
Help people. A ton of people.
Get recognized. And get offered a job.

Myself I got into crypto. I built YouTube videos on how to do things. Learned a wee bit of code to create some tools for people. Opensourced the tools so anyone could get them for free and edit them as they liked. Offered free personal 1 on 1 consulting for over 200 people (remotely giving 50 of them assistance as well all for free) my current boss became a client. Asked me for help. As always I gave all this for free again. At the end he offered me a job. From the time I got into crypto to the time I got offered a job in crypto was 5months. Next week it will be a year ago that I got in crypto.
Best part about this. Nobody in the cryptosphere has ever seen my face. They don't know if I'm white or black or green or yellow. They know I have a helpful personality and when I say I'm going to try to do something I go and do it.
@supercalifragilisticexpialidoc Are you as famous as he is ? He’s been Morgan Freeman for a very long time now. I’m not sure he relates to the rest of us anymore. 😏

SW-User
@Miram what ??? That's confusing so he failed high school 12 times and graduated college without high school ? Lol

@SW-User If that's what you take, I never said you did, I might have implied it from what a friend once did who reminds me of you,
SW-User
@SW-User no mainly on the job with external training here and there. I've recently changed IT fields and got my first professional qualification in October and I'm looking to gain my 2nd this year

Never to late to go to college!
SW-User
I didn't go. I'm not doomed.
Not entirely true
Did your mother say that? Lol
SW-User
