Hey I'm posting this as a reply to your comment so you get a notification otherwise you won't see it, but you should try software development. Many companies allow you to work from home, you never have to show up at a physical location, you can start learning at any point in your life (you just have to be good at logic and math and stuff) and it pays really, REALLY good money.

Oh okay. Memory problems are obviously an issue for programming and I really can't help you there. I just know that software dev has turned out to be a perfectly good solution for others in situations similar to yours. Anyway, try it out. There are plenty of free courses to try to learn to program online, and you can start with an easy language like Python. Worst case scenario is that it doesn't work out and you wasted a few days that you would've spent on Reddit or Netflix. Best case scenario is that you find out that your memory problems are just due to you being out of practice with math/etc. and you find a legitimate career choice helping you support yourself for the rest of your life.

In my (limited) experience the best colleges consider grades to be super important and you would do well to improve your math grades. Your CS curriculum in college will have have a huge focus on math (even though math may not be used much in industrial software dev) and its a huge red flag for colleges if you can't handle high school math.

I got way more pleasure from down voting you than I expected. :)
