Dilemma

Not quite sure if this the right forum…

I am turning 25 in a few days and am constantly pondering my life as of late. I never cared about school growing up. I literally never even partially tried until 11th grade. I somehow graduated. I really want to catch up, be more intelligent, expand my vocabulary, and aquire a high paying job. I don’t know if it’s possible… If it is, can somebody pass on some advice to this unlucky soul. I don’t have any options as far as money for college and my credit is ruined. Should I just consider that I failed myself and forget high level learning? Im sick of feeling inferior. I want to bring my dreams to fruiton.

I like computers, science, working with my hands, electricity, fluids and gasses, biology, history, math, nature, precious resources, water, and probably several other things… I was thinking Computer Science. I tried web design in high school and really enjoyed seeing my work come together as I was coding…

I know a lot of you are well educated and have some valuable input. I’m open to any and all feedback. Thanks ladies and gents.

Not sure where the edit button is… Nvm, found it.

So what is your question? How to get started in pursuing a CS career? Start at you local Community college and take some classes to see if CS is right for you.
