It sounds like you might benefit from working on believing in yourself more :) Have you considered trying counselling? CBT might be particularly well suited. (Sorry if this comment sounds patronising, it’s difficult to get tone right on these things.)
In terms of concrete career advice, it would be helpful to know what industries you might go into know, and whether grad school would lead to promising careers or higher earnings.
Whatever you choose to do, good luck! Bear in mind that if you donate to effective charities you’ll be doing an unusual amount of good, which very much means that you’re not a “failure”.
