Failed uni what do i do now/ what can i do with my qualifications?

Hi there, need advice really
I have been doing uni for 4 years - left first year due to covid - then had to retake one module in 2nd year as failed 1 core module, have resit it this year however i know i have failed the resit i paid personally for. Now i realised all this has lead to decide i don't want to continue next year and have lost motivation for it as well i have developed more of a passion for business and it should of been what i should have done at uni in the first place as i was good at it. I was doing computer science enjoyed software dev but struggled on the advanced programming probably as i only did IT at a level not coding. What do i do now as i feel like I'm not qualified for any job in particular and not what what to do with what jobs realistically i can apply for.

I have 12 gcses at grades 5-9 including A* in business, A* in iT and a 7 in english
I also have 3 a levels including a B in business, A in IT and e in history

As well i have first year uni computer science and all but 1 module of the second year (not sure if i will get a qualification for this)

What can i realistically expect to get job wise with these as i never have had a job longer then a Christmas temp? Will i have to apply for junior roles in a unknown field or apprenticeship at the age of 23, or is they like jobs i can do straight into with my qualifications

Ive looked at jobs but most say you need 3 years experience of this plus this qualification so I'm confused if my qualifications will be useful

Any advice is great thanks

If you are passionate about business & enterprise then the good news is, their is no qualification requirements.

A lot of successful tycoons suggest an apprenticeship of just giving it a go, learning the lessons of entering a market, generating cash flow, gaining clients through just doing it (sure you might make mistakes but you learn through it simultaneously).

Your university might be able to give you an exit award for leaving having successfully completed year 1. This would typically be a CertHE (Certificate of Higher Education). You might need to ask for this; it might not be offered automatically.
