This is an answer most should try. My relative is mentally disabled, but functional. With help from his family he got a used truck, and started lawn care and junk removal. Over time he built a business, and was able to afford his own home. The self esteem he earned for himself and for his family is something I greatly respect.

Probably the best advice so far. Job = limited upside. I’ve seen a lot of normal people start business and become financially stable.

You can also see a lot of individually started businesses go broke.

Most new businesses fail.

Even if you want to start your own business, you almost certainly need to be employed in that field for an extended time first, otherwise, how will you learn the trade?

Plus, if the OP were of entrepreneurial nature, they probably wouldn't be asking.

Apropos from yesterday's server status "fortune cookie":

A young man wrote to Mozart and said:

Q: "Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any suggestions as to how to get started?"

A: "A symphony is a very complex musical form, perhaps you should begin with some simple lieder and work your way up to a symphony."

Q: "But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8 years old."

A: "But I never asked anybody how."
