take up any honest job right now for the full blown economic effects of the pandemic have not been unveiled yet. complete at least ur N levels and if u can, ur O levels. then, think really hard about a skill/trade/craft u are interested in and then go for night classes. slowly improve urself. u will find ur self esteem back and eventually, in ur 30s or 40s u will see that u had made a wise choice by improving urself.
but if u really can't study for whatever reasons, then, try ur hand at being a salesman where u get reasonable commission for ur sales. the way i see it, a sales job is the only way u can break out of the salary-based-on-our-education level prison.
all the best!
