In that case, have you considered going the trade route? As Lady Pi Phi suggested, community colleges have excellent vocational programs that will get you out there in the world. If you can find something you enjoy, you can use it to help support you as you try to experiment with other educational opportunities.
It might slow you down a bit, but at least you will be able to really contribute to the funding of your education and you won't be quite as restricted. It is REALLY difficult to find a bachelor's degree program that will end up in a job that can support you. The only ones that have true potential to do that are professional ones and even those expect that you will go on to a higher degree.
ETA: EXCEPT if you want to teach. If you truly want to do that, you could either get the degree in the subject you want to teach and then go through the procedure to get certified. Or, you can get an education degree and concentrate/minor in the subject you want to teach. That way, the school will be able to assist you in gaining certification. I think the one downside (my mother was an education major) is that you don't have as solid a foundation in the subject you want to teach.
