I was going to reply to this when I first saw it yesterday, but didnt want to seem like a crank telling you to follow your parents advice, but now everyone has already done it, take the advice man, get some sort of paper behind you.
I am only 26, did what you did (in a different industry though), and I will freely admit it is the wrong road to follow. If you turn you passion into your job eventually its just a place you have to go to keep the monkey off your back. However, get a good qualification and you will probably earn good enough money to enjoy your passion to a higher level.
Its not saying you cant make it going down your path, I did, have a nice house, boat, enough nice fishing gear to keep me happy, but its not the easy road. I look at my girlfriend, 3 years out of Uni at 24, makes like 3 times what I make and probably works half as hard, thats where you want to be mate, money sucks, but life is easier when you have enough of it...
