New training at 21/22? (school, work, education)

I am M/19 and have no training yet and would like to start training. Unfortunately I have one very bad high school diploma.

Story of how it came about: I have been self-employed with e-commerce since I was 16 years old and have earned a lot of money with it. At 17, at least 5 figures a month (taxes already deducted). You felt like a king. 5 figures per month at 17, more than my teachers and my entire class combined. Because I earned so much, I then forgot about school and that’s how I got a bad grade in high school because I wanted to continue doing e-commerce and I thought to myself “screw school, I earn 3 times as much as I do Teacher”. I don’t need a high school diploma or any training.

I wasn’t that reflective yet and thought that I could keep going like this. I only saw the work and forgot everything else.

E-commerce the way I did it is now dead because big companies are doing it now and times have changed. I only make a maximum of 1k a month, +- a few 100€.

With my high school diploma, my age and my background, can I start a good commercial training (real estate agent, bank clerk, industrial clerk or insurance company)? I got a bad grade but not because I’m stupid and lazy.

Also a problem: E-commerce is not a recognized profession, on my CV it looks like I have been unemployed since I was 16.

This isn’t urgent because I still have a good 6-figure amount to spare, but I can’t push on with that for 50 years and I only get about 1k a month and I also have to pay a tax advisor.

Do you think I have a chance? My high school diploma is bad, my resume is empty and I’m 19 (soon to be 20)

Greetings from Bavaria.
