I’m 16, I probably won’t get my GCSEs and I have missed the deadline for college. Have I majorly screwed my life over?

I dropped out when I was 14 due to me constantly getting in trouble and just being a bad student so I didn’t see a point in staying. I was intending to sit them privately but I haven’t applied for any and I haven’t applied for college either. I’m in the process of getting a job at McDonald’s so that’s something. Before I started getting I trouble I had target grades of 8s and 9s and was in top sets for everything. I like learning I just don’t know where to go from here.
