Need some help...

I don't know where to go to make money. I've tried discord, reddit, real jobs, and to be honest I think nobody finds value in real work anymore. I'm 15 years old and I've programmed entire websites for startups, but the second I started embracing programming as the job I want to keep, I started losing money. I went from a decent $300 to $500 a month doing small family friend gigs to now making nothing and getting scammed multiple times every month for projects and unpaid work. Does anybody have any genuine advice for making anything? I don't care if it's $5 a week I just want something to prove that it's worth me investing into this as a career, otherwise I'll let AI take my job and hop off to mcdonalds or something.
