Move back home with your family and go back to school. You say you don't want to be working in McDonalds when you're 70, but do you really think you can be a prostitute when you are that old? My guess is you will stop being marketable when you are maybe 35 at the latest. TAVS is right - if you are really motivated and aren't afraid to work hard, you will find a way to manage your time and life. And it won't kill you to cut down on the social life until you get your act together. Finally, I am unimpressed with a guy who would date a stripper and prostitute. If you decide to pursue a more respectable line of work, he will probably leave you for someone less pulled- together. But then again, you will be worthy of someone more respectable, too.
