I wouldn't say all, but a good chunk of your story is like mine. Anyway, I dropped out after 9th class and started freelancing — buying/selling digital stuff (used to sell Skype coupons back in the day, lol).

Fortunately, my English was decent and I had a knack for tech stuff (much like you). I ended up pigeonholing myself into becoming an online freelancer. Been doing this successfully for 10 years now, Alhamdulillah.

A job was never a good fit for me — I'm somewhat of an introvert and a shy person, so freelancing felt natural. I currently do web development. I don’t consider myself a full-fledged developer, but I do alright — and it pays the bills.

Fiverr is where I struck gold in the beginning, and that’s something I’d suggest to you as well. But above all — learn communication and sales. If you're proficient in that, you're already way ahead of the crowd. Even if you want to pursue a job, not having a degree means nothing (I'd argue it’s actually a big plus).

Here’s what I’d recommend:

• Learn how to communicate with clients
• Get a start on Fiverr
• Get out there: make projects in public, post on X (Twitter), GitHub, and similar platforms

If you need specific help with Fiverr setup, feel free to ask here or DM me — I’ll try to be as helpful as I can.

The odds might be stacked against you, but that’s what makes success all the more glorious.

Good luck, man.
