I wrote a really long thing supposed to help but it ended a bit self indulgent.

Short version: I failed my "high school exams" after coasting for so long I didn't know how to learn. I became afraid of trying in case I failed. So I didn't try and embraced failure. Worked as a chef for long hours and little money.

Turns out it's never too late to take control of your life and do something else. I went to uni at 23 via a foundation course (requiring no exams). I got a good job, am working towards a professional qualification and was sponsored through an MSc.

It's never too late, but it is often to early to reach your potential
