au-pair?

So I guess it's the feeling that my life is already to planned out that's making me run around like crazy these days. I've picked up my music, writing songs like crazy, I'm trying to work out my research report for class (met with my teacher today, it went good) and the latest thing is that I'm thinking about becoming an au-pair. It sounds crazy I know. But I wanna travel and I have no money. My other option is actually to go to school abroad. I've been checking out IBS education and I've fallen in love with Santa Barbara City College. Maybe I'll do Business Managemant or just take some psychology classes. But I should wait a year so I have my degree in Social Psychology, no matter what choice I make. I just don't know if I can take another year here... Maybe if I got picked up from a record label but thats probably an even bigger dream than moving away...
