This Goes Here Because It's For the Internet
Again it is a weekend and I find myself trying in vain to google the answer to my terminal existential crisis. "Why????" turns up almost nothing , save the entertaining "Why won't God Heal Amputees?". I'm not in the mood to invoke Greek philosophers. This is a personal internal thing. I don't need some guy in a toga who had the same experience a few years back to tell me what I'm thinking. I want the grand expanse of the internet and all the human voices in the machine to get inside my head at once and tell me what to do; I can't make a decision for myself, I don't know which direction to turn. Let the collective steer me, right!? And then, Yahoo! Answers, you fail me, I turn to you for comfort to assure myself that my predicament is one of a quotidian nature, but you only charm me temporarily with your charismatic sarcasm when you say:
What am i doing with my life! help!?

No, you are not stupid. MOST people in their 20's do not know what they want to do. I'm 27, and I STILL don't think marketing is where I'm "meant" to be... but I do like it.
I think you should try to take some college courses, or maybe even go to college full time. Keep one of your part time jobs, enroll full time, move on to a college campus. Sometimes, just being around a lot of people going through the same things and having the same questions you have really REALLY help you figure things out. Plus, the whole reason colleges make you go through a bunch of different courses is because they realize most of us are still searching for something we really like to do. It gives you an opportunity to find out about a lot of different things you wouldn't normally get to know about outside of a college world.
If money is a problem, look into loans and scholarships. Sometimes, you can get a lot of government grants based on who you are or where you are from, etc. Do some research.
Either way, it's never too late to change your life around and find something you really like to do. I know time moves very quickly around that age, but you really do have more time than you feel like you do. Use it to your advantage!
Good luck and I hope things get better for you. :)

I worked part time the ENTIRE time I was in college. It was hard, but it was worth it.

I have faith in search engines though. Something's here and we're going to find it, as humans, connected.
