I second la petite moi's suggestion: community college. You can get your GE classes done with for a fraction of the price and expose yourself to many more options for a career. Keep in mind, you don't have to lock yourself into a career now - many people I know got their degree in one field only to go on and work others. My dad, for example, got his degree in Poli Sci. He got his doctorate in Geography. I was a Theater Arts major (TV/Film). Now I'm a Unix sys admin... Diverse exposure is the key.
I'd strongly discourage you from doing the world tour at this point. It sounds like fun, but think of the long term costs. An option would be to study abroad. Many universities offer a study abroad program where you spend your junior year at a university in a foreign country. My sister went to Denmark and ended up meeting her husband-to-be. (She came back to the States to finish her senior year then went back to Denmark where she lives to this day.)
