Ask HN: In need of SERIOUS help

I work about ~10h a day in a agency in Brazil(and I "travel" in public transport for 4h to get there). It's my first month there, but heres the deal:

- I have a degree in comp. sci.

- I can do frontend(pretty well versed in js) to backend(rails/node.js/php, you pick)

- I can speak english(rare shit here in Brazil).

- I have done like 9000 projects that I didn't finish, my fault. Most of them were to teach myself new web technologies.

- I can draw.

... and I make $1200/month(before fucking taxes).

I want to kill myself. BADLY. IT SEENS THAT I'M THE MOST UNDERPAID PERSON IN THE WORLD, from all the effort and shit that I put into it.

I'm probably the most unsuccessful "hacker" in the world.

What should I do with my life? I don't know people that could offer me something decent. I'm serious about killing myself and dieing like a hero(after all, I've tried).
