Applied to better schools given lot of them have full need based scholarship if you get in. Picked a major that is non-cs but studied cs books on my own. Get GED, do an online college, i.e. WGU, and then get masters. All possibly in 3 years, stick to one language and master it. I'd be fulltime dev by 20. Not go to commuter college, while saved me tons of money but it wasn't college experience. Spend less time on gaming, anime, and youtube. Instead more on sports, building stuff and public speaking.
