Number one piece of advice: Find a marketable skill you vaguely enjoy, if there is one, and market it. If it doesn't show dividends within a few months, find another skill, market it. If you have no skills, go get some. Strangling hobos should get you enough XP to put a few points into them.

If there really aren't any, then tough luck, time to take up a hobby while working a job you hate like a lot of people do.

EDIT:
Things that are skills: Knowing how to write the good words to a level you can work for a magazine, plumbing, electronics, coding, interior design, hairdressing, cosmetics, gardening and landscape design, sound mixing, IT
Things that are not skills: Mad ukelele kicks, knowing how to write the good words but not to a level that gets steady employment, art (it is, but good luck expecting to get paid), masturbation, not bathing, and general Gooniness.

Liberal arts degrees are worthwhile. On their own they usually don't have great job prospects but so long as people actually take them seriously, they teach a lot of good skills. Not to mention opening up post-grad routes later.
