I feel like "data centers in spaaaaaaaace!" is an idea that could only come from someone completely removed from the day-to-day of how computers actually work. Like no matter how you slice it, these are physical objects that are going to need servicing by human beings fairly regularly. Putting them in space vastly complicates that process.

    A lot of people have given good advice here, so I'll just add that if you want to leave the country, even just for a bit to throw off the trail, you might have more options than you think. You're under 25 and there's a decent number of programs out there that will give young people a chance to "see the world" in exchange for cheap labor. The JET program, the Peace Corps, or even the French Foreign Legion if you're OK with military service. Something to look into, possibly?
