1) as others have said, get your degree.

2) look at data engineering

Either on specific jobs or systems (map/reduce, streaming, databases etc).

Three, you have been given a gift. You know what you don't want and some things about what you do. Nothing you did was a waste. Focus less on the specific goals and be in the moment. It is great that you have industry experience, even before graduation. That is where you will do/did a whole bunch of learning. Also, don't let this specific job color your whole view of DS.

Peace
