My problem is I get bored and lose motivation when working alone. I’m thinking a job would be a good way to keep me moving forward?

I’ve tried teaming up with people on projects but it seems like if it’s not tied to a paycheck they flake out pretty quickly.

Working with others is definitely important for motivation and for technical progress.

Maybe something like contributing to an existing open source project or doing some small projects of your own (e.g. writing a blog about smth that your really like, without aiming to monetize it) could help.

The best case scenario would be to start a self-supporting company or something of that sort.
