Stay in college, and keep your education fairly broad, polymathy is getting back into fashion. I cannot get a minimum wage job mainly because I am overqualified. I cannot get a higher paid job because I lack specific qualifications. I cannot afford those specific qualifications because I cannot get a minimum wage job. If in a few years you happen to find yourself in this scenario, it is unlikely you will get any help at all. Firstly it is hard to fit someone like myself into a particular social group that is considered disadvantaged, and also I get prejudice from both left and right. In my last job I was considered as a threat by people in higher positions, while people at the same level as myself thought I was arrogant and uncooperative. You can't win sometimes. This shitty situation can only be resolved by bootstrapping a job, which is one of the main reasons that I teach myself programming.
