You&#x27;re ONLY 24. I went back to college at 26, got a BS and an MS and have changed paths many times.  Get that &quot;no reason to live&quot; nonsense out of your head and get it together.  You have many, many years ahead of you.  Like others have said, doors are shut only to those that give up.  I agree - get a job and practice coding and build up your portfolio.
