You seem like a self-starter. So consider taking a year off, moving to a cool city, and just getting a job in an industry that interests you. Try to move up the ladder. Try a bunch of stuff. If you're getting some traction, just stick with it--you might be way better off than your friends in 4 years (real work experience and no debt). If not, you can try applying to college again in a year or two.
Good luck.
