Feeling like a failure

No real point to this post just needing to vent and this seems well a place as any. I'm a welder by trade but as I am watching 30 come on quicker and quicker and my body moves slower and more painfully, I recently looked into a career change. I enrolled in a cyber security intro course just to see what it's about. I like it well enough and was excited to get into a well paying field and out of the trades. Turns out that I can't even qualify for student loans, due to medical debt collections on my CR. Makes me wish I would've just lived with the hernia and not gotten the surgery. This is some complete bullshit that I work a full time job and make $25/hr and still can't qualify for student loans. How is anyone supposed to move up in this world?
