Becoming an actor?

Question:

Becoming an actor?

Ok, so I am an Australian 18yr old male. Finished school last year and haven??t even been able to just get a normal job yet as I am having no luck. I have been asking myself if I could do anything what would it be, and I said acting.

Growing up I had a speech impediment and also had an accident involving my mouth when 3 years old which lead to surgery. Had braces at 14. Growing up I struggled talking to people and didn't have anyone to help me. I didn??t have any friends or family. I have managed to get to the point where most people can't pick it up so I must be doing ok. I improve everyday as talking to people in everyday life helps.

So at the moment I have no life and don't know what to do, I would like to pursue an acting career or even work for a little bit first then try acting.
I want to be an actor; I feel I don??t have what it takes.
Other:
Looks: athletic build, pale, hair is fine at moment hope I don??t go bald, alright teeth, short/average height.
year12 average marks

I am not sure if I should be focusing on this or get a job in the mean time as i got nothing.

Seems hard to become an actor in Australia, I searched for local theatre companies and didn't find anything.

I wish I could become an actor right now, I know it is hard to get into and I am fully lost
