I've been working for Youtubers and starter t-shirt clothing companies and I wanted to know the best way to get into the real professional scene where you're not dealing with pissed off 12 year olds.
Any suggestions?

post your work to get an idea, maybe make a portfolio (printed+pdf+web), learn web dev, get really good at one or two things, developt your own brand, also watch all the vids on this channel

Make portfolio.
Gather list of places in your area were you would like to work. If you are into diagramming, search for editorials, or production companies if you are into film. If you don-t know/care, go for advertising agencies since they are always up for fresh meat since they can pay you little and demand a lot.
Redact a simple yet attractive letter (or video or graphic or comic or whatever) that explains who you are and why you want to work there, it can be super generic but it should sound deep without turning corny nor edgy.
Mail that shit to everyone on your list.
In case it wasn't obvious beforehand, grab the local newspaper and search for job listings and mail those too.
>Let's say at this point you got a crappy entry position that will make you hate everything
You need to hang on there and make good shit
It sucks but the only real way (imo) to get better jobs in the field is by word of mouth.
>agency makes you work for a third party
>third party is happy with your work
>third party contacts you directly for the next job
So move your ass OP.
