I'm good at academics and paperwork, unless college is just really dumbed down or something. The only reason I didn't get a 4.0 is my grandmother died and I neglected a few online tests, but I still made a 3.6 with almost no effort.

Well, first of all, you are discovering that there is no such thing as a free puppy. Getting a degree in general studies because it was free isn't helping you. Here's the deal, you need to decide which way you want to go -- your threads are all over the place.
Do you want a professional job?
If yes, then which field? Then go back and get the degree you need for that field, even if you have to pay for it. What you pay for will mean a lot more and be more focused than what was free.
If no, then do you want a trades job? Again which field? I suggested plumber or HVAC tech above because they are decent pay and everyone needs them so you're helping people.
If not a trades job, then what - fire, medical?
And you really need to get beyond the only goal to have money and retire early. People who do that have a plan and are driven toward their plan early on. Right now you don't have than kind of focus, so the first step is get focused and work toward that first goal. Then, the next and so on. But you can't be all over the place and get anywhere. We call that "All Mach, no compass heading."
