Foreign language skills are "enhancers". For instance, if you can do sales, you now have the ability to do sales with foreign companies and customers.
So, the first question is, what else are you good at? And, how can you use all of that talent with languages to enhance that career?
Don't worry about the college degree thing. If you're smart and talented, that's more than 90% of the people coming out of colleges.
Personally, I'd head straight for the military or diplomatic corps. with my skills. If that didn't work, I'd get a sales job with a company that has customers (or needs customers) who speak those languages.

Besides the obvious (translator) there are tons of jobs for which applicants having multiple languages would be given priority:
Travel agent -- this one is a biggie, because the company would know that you could work with a wide variety of people, both travelling to and from your location.
Real Estate agent -- same as above; there are lots of people immigrating to Canada and the USA, and thus more service providers with multiple languages are required.
Self-publishing companies will look for people with multiple languages to work with the authors and to offer editing services.
Customer service rep for a telephone company
Retail rep in a tourist town

It depends a lot on what level you speak the languages to. I would advise that you take some kind of language proficiency test so that your level of language can be determined - anyone can claim to speak four languages without accreditation. As a translator or interpreter, people may be reluctant to offer you work without qualifications in this field. You may well have to prove yourself by means of trial translations for them. Good luck!

forget translation jobs, you need a degree and then a post grad qualification, just knowing a language is not enough to be a translator / inerpreter.
Realistically, depending on your languages, you could be a bilingual teaching assistant, work in a hotel on reception, holiday rep, flight attendant or of course other jobs that don't rely on your languages.

Apply to your local education office to become a bi-lingual assistant. I work in a school and we are always desperate for this service. There is a career path leading to a teacher qualification. Students and teaching staff really need the support of talented people such as yourself. It is always worth you looking up EMAS sites on the web, Ethnic Minority Achievement Services

Do an interpretation course and get a diploma. You could do interpretation jobs. Do you speak Polish or Portuguese? Interpreters for these languages are in demand.
