Enjoy your debt, lack of practical skills and nihilism.

I am free from nihilism now that I am free of the church. Enlightenment is progress.

Read Confessions. Kinda scared me. Mom keeps bugging you to quit your cool gnostic cult and rejoin catholicism so you become a volcel neoplatonic ripoff. Hope that never happens to me...

private school students do, on average, better than public school students. So I don't think that's where OP went wrong.

You try law school? it's a bit of a crapshoot but a fair amount of my friends who went into philosophy went into law and make a decent living (you need a good GPA and LSAT scores to have a chance at getting more out of it than you put in though). Also being on drugs and alcohol is bad from a health perspective so it's good you get off them. Another job possibility is to become an accountant or something, it's not a very hard career as long as your IQ is above room temperature.
