I want to study in europe/usa I need help

next year is my final year at high school.I want to study in europe/usa but I don't have many options.You can get a scholarship from the goverment to study in usa but they choose what you study and you have to be first or second in the country wich is really hard(I mean really)my second option is to get a job there and support my study but it's expensive there(study) and what if I loose my job one day how can I continue to study and getting a job is not easy.I worked for a startup for sometime that never shipped anything they didn't even have an idea so I can't put anything on my resume other than that I don't have any side projects I just start it and don't complete it so I don't have anything to show to an employer.so what can I do ?
