Confused about career and school

Well I am in my second year in university and I'm now at the point where I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I'm so confused about everything. I wanted to become a teacher. I did not get direct entry into the 5 year program to become. I was going to transfer into it this year, but my first year of university went horrible. I took 3 classes and failed 2 and the one class I did pass I got a D. :( So this year I had to take classes to improve my GPA. First semester happens and I couldn't get into anything but one class. Which was psychology because I failed it last year. I end up getting sick a lot. I got mono and also had colds. I had to drop the class. So now second just started and I'm finally now realizing everything. I honestly don't think I can become a teacher. The classes are too hard and the courses I have to take don't interest me. For me to be a teacher will take around 7 years. Maybe even more. And that's just way too long with teachers not being a demand right now. I can become a EA. (Educational assistant) But they don't make as much though. I want a job that'll definitely make more than that. Because I personally don't think I can live off that. To become an EA it's 6 months in college. So I've decide right now that I'm going to that instead. I think I'll become an EA for now and see if I can land an EA job as fast as I can and then later on expand my education and go back and do something else. Because I don't wanna stay at working at a grocery store. I do like my job, but I cannot make a living off of that. So I was going to do both for a little until I figure out something else. I didn't take any higher science for grade 10 because I couldn't do it. And I didn't take pre cal. And lot's of things want those from high school. And there's no way I'm going back. Because I've thought about being an ultra sound technician. But I cannot do that because I don't have what they require, and there's no way I can do all three science and pre cal. I'm hoping to find something to do as a career. I just feel so confused with life. Like the doubts come in. Like sometimes I feel like I won't do anything and I won't succeed with anything. Because I feel too stupid.
