Agronomy has a good future considering the food demand and the population growth these days. Besides, the career is very pretty if you like plants, and it's also very intresting, since there's tons of options on where to work later (crops, fruits, wine *o*, packaging, organic agriculture, pests control, EDIT: BEER too! etc.) :>
Well, that's from my point of view at least. SHAMELESS ADVERTISING
Also, good luck with your desicions ^^!
Never even heard of it, will look into it.

Except you probably would.
Truth be told I'd rather watch that than an actual basketball game.

Or you could go volunteer. And meet lots of new people. Who knows in one of those instances you'll find that you're doing something you love. Hell, I'm in no position to say that (never volunteered and don't really like meeting people), but good advice goes around.
I personally just go with the flow. If I can't keep up, I try harder. I dropped out of engineering because I didn't like what I was studying and am studying economics now. Shit is fun.
But I'm quite a passive person with not much of a passion in some field so I just go with it.
I actually have a few on the list, I volunteered at the District Attorney's office trying out the legal aide, lawyer, cop etc. deal, as well as animal shelter (I still do but vet is just not for me) and nursing home (which I forgot to put on the list oh well).

It seems to me you're aiming for all the "safe" jobs, jobs with a secure future. That is a smart decision but I think the problem is they should be your plan B. I'm surprised you haven't looked into media.
First off, you don't mind being on camera. Fact. You have your own unique sense of humor, and with the right moves you can find the right audience or tweak it to appeal to the right audience. Look into certain types of media. Nothing too big like acting, but anything that'll bring you on camera. You're failing with all the safe jobs because everyone goes for them, but in a strange way I get the feeling you do better when the risk is higher and your chances of landing the position are against you. I'm surprised you dropped out of landscaping as well, it isn't something that takes extreme amounts of knowledge or skill.
Look into media and the other trade school stuff I showed you, specifically things like:
Filmmaking; cameraman, anchor, studio, minor acting, directing, etc. (Even dabble in photography, it's a different kind of art)
Carpentry, plumbing, electrician, etc. Look into jobs that specialize in renewable energy sources, by the time you learn it the market should be close to exploding. Wind energy, solar energy, the knowledge to work with this is worth a lot nowadays.
Adult films: They pay a lot, and gay porn tends to pay up to 10 times more in certain situations. Very rewarding career.
Though you didn't do well in animal care, the medical field is in dire need of people. Look into the fields that are especially begging for people, they'll take you no matter how good you are and offer a lot for benefits. If you can't find your place, then fill in a place where it's needed most, they'll practically hand you your paycheck.
Well, The whole acting deal doesn't appeal to me but doesn't "not" appeal to me, I could give it a shot but I think you need a bit of a passion for it to succeed in that field, camera prolly not a good idea with hands and carpentry, plumbing, etc. Falls close enough to why I could not do landscaping, However you bring to mind drafting, which sounds interesting, problem being it's not particularly a booming business right now... Gay porn? Can do.

I get what you're saying but I've tried many times with writing to poor feedback, this was more a final nail in the coffin deal rather than quitting. I mean some things are just not meant to be no matter how hard you try, not gonna' see a 3 foot dwarf playing basketball because he tries a little harder. :/
That dwarf would always be at a disadvantage. You have the ability to overcome yours with practice.
How much time did you spend with the various things on your list before giving up? Was there anything in particular you had fun with?
Certain things longer than others, on average a year for each, some of them 3 months, but for the most part I spent a lot of time trying, most just plain did not work out for some unforeseen reason that I can't get around, like health problems for military and drawing not working due to shaky hands or that I happen to be the worlds worst chef. X3
Only things I liked and thought I was ok at were landscaping (doctor advised against it) and writing/reviewing/journalism, pretty much the whole area.
