Don't know what to do.

A degree isn't a magic ticket to a job, since my brother with an AS in computer networking is discovering, but your chances will be way better if you can find a way to work some classes in somewhere. Don't worry about being 30 before you can start making something of yourself - I'm gonna be 27 before I have my credentials, and I'm not sweating it. Get to it when you get to it. I have no idea what I'm going to do about the student loans afterwards, but, well see below.

Don't worry too much about putting down roots in Idaho. If you can get yourself back on track, you can always move. The more job experience you have, the easier it is to get a job elsewhere. Depending on where you end up working, you might even be able to simply transfer. And if you're really pressed for job ideas, try temp agencies and look for temp-to-hire positions. I got really lucky doing that, it might work for you.

Oh, and quit looking too far ahead into the future. That's just going to keep depressing you, trust me; when you're not yet sure what you're going to do in the long term, trying to plan more than a year ahead is frightening. Focus on life a few months at a time, it is considerably more manageable that way. A plan will come together as you go, as long as you don't let yourself be swamped here and now.
