Well, you sure know a hell of a lot more than the average, or even above-average, 18-year-old. And a lot of that knowledge consists of things you can't learn in school, or at least not high school.
Your parents may shudder a bit at the bill, but really they've been paying your tuition at the University of Life. And I think you've done well there.
At some point you'll fix on something you're interested in, or find a career where knowing a lot of different things comes in handy. I have a cousin who knows how to do a lot of different things: auto repair, carpentry and home remodeling, plumbing, computers, machining metal parts, sailing, electronics. No degree, just stuff he picked up along the way because he was interested, starting at maybe age 12. He ended up, at a fairly young age, with no college degree, as maintenance manager for a rather large oil refinery, where he is to this day. And he uses _all_ that knowledge.
