I will have had 4 years of japanese and more counting the books and advanced learning I've done on my own. The problem is I don't want to wait until after college to go. I'm impatent. And looking for a job in japan seems super difficult without any college background. I know there are some jobs that will hire you without college and just start teaching you while your working in the job. but it all seems difficult. but i want it more than anything in my life. So any words of advice for someone like me?

You should just go to college. Pick out a university that does a Japanese language exchange or cultural study type option. You can go to school and maybe in your second or third year, you can do an exchange and go to school in Japan for a semester or an entire school year.
Getting a job in Japan with no extensive work background (I'm assuming, given your age) and no college degree won't get you far at all.
