Sup dawg
I'm 22 and was in a situation like yours for a loooong time. I am also a drop out.
1) yes people will hire you, get over it. post your resume on Dice if you don't believe me. you'll start getting calls at 9am the next morning
2) stuff is going to be some amount of shitty no matter where you go or what you do. you may call me crazy, but you'll probably end up looking back on now as the good times. so enjoy where you are now in addition to where you are going (see point #1).
3) nothing matters as long as you write code every day and keep your head up.
also, i saw someone in this thread say "your technical skills mean dick."
fuck that guy and fuck that thought
you have worked hard to learn and develop what you have in your head, and it is as valuable as you say it is. you have a long road ahead of you.
if you look on the web or talk to friends/family and find a contract (or even better, a job!) that's great. if you can't, it is equally valid to build something for yourself.
no matter what, you have plenty of time to figure it out.
