Hey, before anything said and done, I'm 20 years old and I know nothing about life except from what I read and my parents tell me. Anyway, on with it, I am in the exact same boat except for a few things, I'm a natural stoner, that means, I can relate to any pot smoking airhead without having to smoke pot, and my grades are the worst train wreck in God's green earth!!
I am pretty confident the right answer is to go to school. Not only will school facilitate a future career, not just a job, where you'll be happy, but it's also an investment in yourself. Grades are never ending achievements and hence I turn to TFP to forever better myself, to join NCSU.
You wont be happy at a job, you wont even have the option of walking away when you do something good, in the corporate world you need validation. Effort and great reviews makes 98%. But what if you only have 70%?? The grades will qualify you even more. Try school, it's easier to walk out on than not trying. You'll hate yourself for it later.

If you want to work so bad, go with the interesting job that offers higher learning. Always a great Idea. That, to me, isn't low pay.
