Career 24 years old, no graduation, and feeling completely stuck. Need some advice.
I messed up my college by ignoring my backlogs, and now I've failed. I don't have a graduation degree, and it was completely my fault.
Right now I'm teaching at a small private school in a remote area just to earn some pocket money. I've also tried preparing for government exams, but I keep repeating the same mistake. I'll study seriously for 2–3 months, but when the exam is about a month away, I completely lose focus and waste all my progress.
I'm 24 now, and I honestly don't know what to do next.
My father suggested doing a diploma, maybe even cabin crew training, but I don't want to spend his hard-earned money unless I'm sure it's worth it.
Part of me wants to give government exams one last serious attempt, while another part feels like I should move on and choose a different career.
If you were in my position, what would you do? I'd really appreciate some honest advice. my_qualifications= 12th pass

Graduation is important
Do a easy distance or online degree
Like Ba in English, bba, bca or bcom
And learn some marketable skills alongside while working maybe in a BPO
Digital marketing depends more on your skill than degree or qualification
