Have you thought of being a business analyst? You can probably study up on the side and knock out a certificate in a few months, claim some of your school projects and teaching work as relevant experience, and get an internship or entry level position (might have to bite the bullet for the first job). There's a lot of observation and analysis of business process and company goals, documenting them, and then suggesting solutions to improve. That might be a good mental outlet while letting you observe first hand various aspects of the business environment to see if there's something else that interests you. As mentioned earlier, Excel and SQL are valuable, and you can get quick certifications in each (not that they're required, but if you're lacking specific work experience it at least tells an employer you know enough to get the cert). A lot of business analysts gravitate toward tech because that's where a lot of the solutions to their analysis are. Starting salaries are decent, and if you specialize in an area (like tech) can get pretty baller.
