I'm 17, black, how tf do I get out of the hood?

I'm tired of this place. Everyone around me either gave up or got stuck in the same cycle. I want more for myself but I don't even know where to start.

My grades are decent (mostly B's, some C's) but nobody in my family went to college so I'm clueless about that whole process. Money's tight so I've been working part time at a grocery store but it barely covers anything.

I see people talk about "networking" and "opportunities" but where do you even find that when everyone you know is in the same situation? I'm willing to work hard and do whatever it takes, I just need some real advice on actual steps I can take.

Trade school? Military? College somehow? Moving to a different city? I'm open to anything that's actually realistic and not just "work hard and believe in yourself" type stuff.

If anyone made it out of a similar situation, what did you actually do? What should I be focusing on right now?
