Is it too late for me?

I am 27 and finally have an idea of ‘what I want to be when I grow up.’ I got into my first choice school a decade ago with a great academic scholarship, went there for a couple years, moved around, took a few community college courses in a different state, changed my major every semester, and after draining my finances, gave up on school.

I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve been working a vast array of dead end jobs, backpacking throughout the states and Europe, and I have nothing to show for it. Am I a lost cause? Are there others like me? Do I stand a fighting chance of getting accepted to a CA school and if so, will I have to explain what I have been up to for 10 years, because some of it is does not stamp me as good ‘college material?’ What is the first step? Please help! I am completely lost.
