Currently applying for a HR specialist - need general advice

hey man ill be real i got 777666555 in my gcses and bottled my a levels, on a gap year and ive js been working retail this entire year nd i dont want my life to feel like this for the rest of my life. my father passed away after my parents divorce, and at 18 during my a level exam season my mother passed away because of cancer. hows exit opportunities as a hr specialist tho because i know that becoming a hr officer is significantly harder and not as doable as specialist, but i also am leaning into becoming a hr specialist. paid salary and cheap rent, u could have an actual liveable life and i dont wanna go uni either because the value that offers in todays day and age is very minimal, even from top universities. that said ive done lots of research into exit opportunities and i know the military is no stepping stone i know this. lots of people often find themselves in engineering or back office finance roles. would this be doable as someone with 4-5 years as a hr specialist? i also do not wanna sit doing admin work on a 20k salary for the rest of my life too and yes part of being a man is the small acceptance of things the way u dont want them to be but idek what to do right now bro i know this not no vent page so my sorry ah sat here typing paragraphs for what bro but yeah. im 19 right now.
