What do you mean you're conflicted? Step 1, get a job in IT regardless of what it pays. Do not lie either, they'll catch on and your reputation in that area will be ruined before it started.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

You can say you traded forex or stocks the 7 years. But they will test your knowledge.
Everything I post is trash.

I'm a senior sys admin, I started my IT career rebooting modems and cable boxes for a cable company. It was work from home, it was easy, and it allowed me to study. It didn't pay much, $12/h, but everyone has to start somewhere.

I held that jon for 18 months, and in that time I was promoted once and given a raise to $13.50/h.

Whatever you do and wherever you end up, do things in the best way you can, not for the money, not for the company, but for yourself, hold yourself to the highest standard you can.

I'll post more I later.

This. Get a job working retail or anything you can find.

You don't deserve jobs anymore. Best you can do is to continue to live off handouts like you did for nearly a decade

With all the recent advances in AI your IT prospects aren't looking good unless you want to be the janitor like Voidgaze.

Freelancer for online/international clients.

Create a few projects so that you have something to bs about in the interview.
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."
