I imagine for much serious work, you probably have to go back to school and get at least some education in area. Assuming you're american: luckily at 24 going back to school is slightly easier than it would be in past years because of the nonsensical "dependent" requirements the financial aid system. If not, I imagine your education system is generally better for returning back to anyway.

Yeah I was thinking something along the same line. But unfortunately I'm in a messy situation in terms of nationality right now. And the chance of attending local universities is quite improbable due to my current circumstances.

I'm planning to save up to go to schools in EU. At the moment I'm looking at Germany, which appears to have more relaxed rules for high school reports for none-EU students.. And even then I hope I don't get stuck in some kafkaesque bureaucracy.

And yup so at the same time I'm exploring for alternatives. (Still, schools will be amazing if I can get into an inexpensive & decent one!)
