Hi and welcome citrusdrop
I merged your two threads - less confusing that way, and keep things within our rules
I have a lot of friends who studied through their 20s and then into the real world, so I don't think you're an anomaly.
Like Anna says tho, you may need to lower you sights a little to get a foot in the door, get some money coming in and some experience for the CV
You'll find a lot of support for your recovery here too.
