1) Having a degree is still great. Most people I know, don't do what they are educated in. It's funny how the world works, but I think it really says something about how defined and broad people are.
2) When you find out what you really want to do, you can work towards a Master in something related? What sort of courses can can you do to be able to jump over into another field?

5) Build your own computer. Restore a car. Go buy some some ingredients and some cloth and make some meals for the homeless and stitch some clothes for them.
You got this man.
6) And if I knew you in real life I would drag you to a martial arts academy. I promise it will change your life. You will get the shit kicked out of you and you will feel amazing. The camraderie you can get in such a place is very rare. You will become hardened, gain self esteem, and know you can do some wooping and defend yourself. It's a vehicle for self development in all aspects of life. And at 27 your at a good age to start. It usually takes 5-10 years to get a black belt in Judo with consist training, 10-15 years in BJJ. You got this. Everybody is super scared in the beginning, but then you find out that all those savages are the nicest guys. They get all the fear, insecurity and alpha-brain-bro complex kicked out of them. They are usually more relaxed than people on the street.

http://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/ Dan Carlins Hardcore History will teach you shit a lot of historians don't even know about. You can be really empowered by knowing a lot of really complicated stuff. His counter-piece Common sense, compares a lot of current issues with historical ones, and you will see the world in a new perspective. Listen to these episodes while doing other stuff.
8) One of my friends asked a well-established restaurant if he could hang out in the restaurant and work for free (so he could learn to cook well). He became friends with all the chefs. He started just helping cutting meat and veggies, and soon he was preparing dishes. You should do things you enjoy.
I've worked for free on films, music videos and for start ups. That's how I learned to animate in After Effects and I am happy that I have these skills. Don't act like you can't do it. Because you totally can, and you should.
