I however, don't know how to fix a thing, nor do I have the drive to learn. I have to apply to colleges as of now but I feel like wherever I end up I'll find a dead end. I've heard college is a waist of time but at this point I don't know what else I could possibly do.

look into americorps. trade schools are always options, as the article suggested. so is the military - I know a lot of people who enlisted in the coast guard and had a great experience. culinary/massage schools have a high yield of job placement for the most part, too. there's a lot more options out there than college.

I really don't recommend going to college unless you have a specific direction/goal you're working towards. it won't be a waste of time necessarily, but it will most likely be a huge waste of money. if anything, try to knock out credits at a local community college or something.
