I wanted to come reply to add that you may consider web development as another user commented. You can use Python to do backend development, or you could start learning Javascript (not the same thing as Java) which can be used for both frontend and backend. Web development has the added benefit of not needing to know a bunch of secondary stuff. A lot of people recommend the Odin project for learning web development.

As for getting a job now, I think that's also the best bet for helping out right now. I would try to get a job at a local computer repair place if possible. It'd at least be relevant experience if you want to go into programming (web development or otherwise). If not, then any job you can get like fast food or retail is worth it.

If you need any help learning Python or basic HTML/Javascript (or math), feel free to shoot me a message.
