It's never too late. I came from a really poor family, had to start working at 14, left my parents house at 16 due to over abuse. Had to study and work untill i finished highschool. Now, with 28, i am starting to build a career (not just working around any job you get), starting a college, relationships, friends (which i had none until now due to no time). Everything, it totally pays off quickly, since you already have a lot of "life" experience.

It's never too late! Keep your head up and grab some people around you to be mentors. Pick up a few books and learn on your own. :)

Get on Udemy, stack skills, khanacademy, etc. There's so many paths you can choose to go down.

Also, get on Meetup.com and find user groups surrounding your interests. Lots of free instruction from experienced people.
