I drove a county bus until I was 30 - not exactly the same situation but I was about as prepared for a real career as if I had been living with my parents the whole time. What changed is I found something that I was interested in (computers) and spent all my spare time studying and becoming proficient - took a volunteer IT position at a charity and leveraged that experience to get a real job and eventually, a real career.

You are still super young, you can do whatever you want - but you need to figure out something that you want to do, something that you'll push yourself to master because you enjoy it.
