<prompt> Human: So I failed the eleventh grade because of family prblems and drug use and general depressionamotivation. Im in a bad state of mind and if im going to pull myself together instead of going the addict criminal suicide route I want to know my effort wont be wasted. 4 of my 8 classes this year had absolutely no relevance to me, I was put in random classes because of overcrowding and not having in paperwork last year. Call me edgy but I have no trust in the system, and if im going to go to college I know any degree I have much interest in such as music history and theory will have no financial viability.The economy is scary and I want to do things right. I dont just want to get by anynore I want to go in whatever direction will make me secure, or dare I dream, rich.What can I do right now, ive considered maybe improving my proggramming ability and trying to shortcut college? Sorry for my spelling and grammar im on mobile and cant be fucked to be neat  <response>: Go to community college, get a technical diploma or learn a trade.
