Possibly because the UK has something called the NHS?

I'm going to be a code monkey aka programmer. And or a political journalist.

I wanted to become a rugby player, teacher or computer programmer.
The first I had to give up, when I got scouted by a local Rugby team. (-sigh- Really hard decision, but too big a risk to take)
The third is what I want to be, but becuase our stupid school doesn't have ICT GCSEs or A-Levels, it's also a little unrealistic -kicks school-
I'd love to be a Secondary School (High School) Maths or Sports teacher, preferably both. I get to do something that I really love, I get to be creative, and I got to wield power to little, arrogant twerps (Hmmm... Is Jim a teacher...?)

I have no idea. I used to want to act/sing, but I don't have enough experience witht the dancing part. I want to do theatre; I hate cameras more so than crowds. I don't get stage fright, and cameras I just don't like. But in case that doesn't work out, which I doubt it will (I can't sing...that's what I think at least) I want to be a fashion designer or a Starbucks barista. 
But the singing thing is a dream if only a dream.

I probably should know what I should be doing, Being 22, but honestly I'm confused.
When I was a child I'd either answer I want to be a bug catcher (6 years old)
Either an entomologist or an artist when I was older.
In high school, physical science (where they introduce chemistry and phyisics) sucked horribly and I could only pull it off with a C+ B-. Didn't enjoy it much.
And then when I studied geometry I was getting a nice A in it though I hated it. The end of the semester we got to doing proofs and I hated it and was utterly confused.
I decided right there a career in science would not fit me because of my hate for math and numbers and how long it took for me to figure them out.
So I dropped the geometry course the second semester and picked up the art semester that I would have missed.
I studied at an art college until my sophomore year in college, but then the courses got to be too difficult (thinking skill wise and art wise)
I was going for a major in illustration, but now I am unsure.
Money has always been a difficult issue (one parent being jobless since I was in highschool and my other parent working as a caregiver with about mininum wage pay) My grandma who had been paying my way up til this year has decided not to pay for the college I was going to. (tuition is extremely expensive being a private college)
And me having autism and a fear of using the telephone/ leaving the house to unfamiliar locations doesn't help much either.
So currently it looks like I will not be enrolled in a college for the fall semester. I haven't heard back from one of the colleges I was considering, and the second one looked like I'd be in a dead end.
Communication design I heard is a saturated market and finding/maintaining a job is practically impossible unless you can truly shine and be super.
I've heard illustration isn't much different. Either way I had to grip the reality that I may not thrive considering my weaknesses and myself.
I do not have that kind of art ability so eh... (I mean I am skilled in art, no doubt, but not enough to truly be able to market from it)
I guess I need the time off college to figure out what I am to do.

Wow, I suppose I have several "pathways" I'd consider. The first would be double majoring in engineering and architecture in college, then pursuing a career in which I'd get to do a little of both. That would probably be the most realistic of my ideas. Second, I think I'd enjoy being an ER doctor or surgeon alot. Then, least likely, I could see myself doing something with sports medicine or maybe being a police officer.
