Really having a hard time choosing between the options. Please lend me your suggestions.

Hi, so I am a 20yr old trying to get into tech by getting an admission into BCA this year.

I passed out 12th (PCMC) two yrs ago, but couldn't do bachelors for a lot of reasons.

I decided to join a college this year, but iam not sure if that's the best option for me because of the following 2 reasons:

  1. Idk if I'll be able to afford college for the next three years even in this cheap ass college. (Yes I know about scholarships, and no that's not enough for me right now 😭).

  2. Idk if it's even worth dreaming of getting into tech as an average student. Feel like if you are not able to build a spaceship on your own before graduation, you are not even considered for a job.

So, I was thinking of getting a full-time instead of college to pay my bills and keep building stuff in my free time and hopefully transition into tech in the next 3-5 yrs.

Is this feasible given the job market?

Do I have any chance at tech at all, as a broke and not-so-intelligent student with limited time?

Should I just let tech dream go and give up on this entirely and try to find something else?

Or any other way that iam just not seeing ?

Help a lost soul out 🙏🏻.
