Poor mental and physical health condition is the reason why I did not apply for college placements, and I've been jobless since then. Looking at the job page, I get discouraged so easily, as they are paying laughably low wages while also looking for experience and skill, and I'm having second thoughts about completing my degree.

I have graduated at the end of last September, and it has been more than a year. I don't have any job experience, including internship. What should I start with? I've been learning SvelteKit for quite some time, I'm taking a break from my portfolio webpage project right now, and learning to create a TUI editor in C. Any advice would be appreciated.

Your first job is almost always going to be shitty. You take it for two years and then get a 50% bump.

Not completing your degree is stupid. You'll be paid more over your lifetime by a lot for that dumb piece of paper.
