get married young, have a fuck load of kids, make the wife work.
nah man, on the serious note, learn a trade. You still have plenty of time to figure out what the end goal is. sure, trades pay shit for the first little while, but they really start to pay dividends by the time you are in your mid to late 20's

I knew a guy is into the same type of shit. He's a youth counselor and has an office filled with hand drums and African masks and shit like that. Can't say I'd enjoy it myself, but he carved his own niche and gets to be a funky professional for a paycheck.

its really one of the hardest descisions a person can make: what should i do with my life?
Theres literally infinite possibilities and comboniations to choose from, where to live, what work to get into, what people to live with, what lifestyle to be part of.....
Its up to u to descide whats best for you at this time in your life, and hopefully it pays enough to support you.

umm.. some trades will get you farther than the cookie cuter degrees. a trade is to fall back on, a degree is to live with.

mechanics, printing, electrical, glass blowing, paper, wine making, you name it man.. the options are limitless.
for example, i have an automotive background, that led me to becoming an engineer i can now work from anywhere with an internet connection. its a path worth checking out.

Construction equipment operations (so much different equipment you could learn), welding (for all kinds of different types of work), carpentry, mechanic (consumer vehicles, trucks, airplanes), oil drilling.
Search trade jobs, you'll find a ton. If you're good with computers, you can get IT certifications pretty easily like A+ or CCNA certifications.

Maybe consider nursing. An RN can work a myriad of jobs. Travel nursing is 3 months at a time or more and one can be a travel nurse within the state of residence, or travel overseas. Some even work 9 months out of the year and take the rest off depending on what kind of lifestyle/material things you might want. There are 3 night/12hr shifts and 4 days off schedules as well. 
LPN gets you in and then the job may pay for most or all of the rest of your education/training for RN. I went straight for the RN 2 year ASN/ADN degree. You get to help people/contribute to society, travel, and make a decent living. Everybody wins!

Stop consuming psychedelics often while you set up your future... You can only change your mind with a trip, but you can change the world with an education and good intentions.

Finish college. Get your degree. See where you stand in 3-4 years from now. You just had your first psychedelic trip. You took in a lot but don't quit your life now because of it.

You're young man, and part of that age is feeling the way you do. Even without psychedelics you'd be in a similar boat. You don't have to figure it all out now. And you most likely won't. What you want out of life now will change. It's also not accurate to say that most people hate their jobs. Some do, some don't, some love what they do. Personally I love what I do. It's not all that hard to find passions that can be channeled into a career. But the way you feel is common, especially for your age. I certainly felt the same way, and would've laughed you out of the room if you'd have told me what I'd be doing for a career back then. Life is a journey, and you've barely gotten started. Your brain has years to go before it's even finished developing....to put some perspective here. You'll be trying to figure yourself for years to come yet. Embrace the process, and relax.....don't pressure yourself to figure it all out quick.
