Well, been playing for a pretty long time and my stats are W - 148 / S - 122 / D - 121 / P - 134. All of those can be increased between 25-30 with gear. I'm an Important Person. Got a ship. Got my map. Got a newspaper. Got a couple of sedans. Got my gang. Been through the Court to complete my influence there. I've trained people. I've got a lvl 19 freaking talking plant. Written a couple of amazing books. Been on most of the expeditions. I've gone through the Jack story arc. Pretty much a lot of stuff. But I am completely lost.
1. I am still on my first job. Can't figure out how to even start my second one or even think about my third job.
2. Can't get through the Tiger Labyrinth.
3. Still can't figure out what is going on with the Big Rat or the Face.
4. No idea what I should be doing next.
Help...

So, you're saying that the secret Bioware project will be a 4X Neathy Colonization game? I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
If you're starting from Alpha Centauri you would hardly even have to change the University, and the Believers would only need some minor edits.

1. Take a look at what the Local Gossip and the 4 "advisors" (Bohemian Sculptress, Urchin, Clay Man and the Loquacious Vicar) say, maybe you missed something, you can find them in the Local Gossip storylet.
2. Have you completed the Fidgeting Writer story? You can start it through a Tale of Terror, in your inventory, and the Loquacious Vicar will also inform you of that.
3. Have you completed all the "Mouse Hunts" accessible via the Implacable Detective Business Cards, in you inventory, under Curiosity ?
4. Do you possess all of the Lodgings? Including the improved versions, those who hold five cards?
5. Have you entered the Mind of a Dead God? (Dreams of Thunder related).
6. For the Big Rat you should have a storylet in your Lodgings that allows you to start the whole thing.
Carnage on the Streets require a difficult Luck check, if you do not posses Sympathetic with Ratly Concerns. After that you get The Meaning of the Plaster Face 3 and you can start using you rats to get it to 10, then the story ends in the Flit.
7. About the Labyrinth, well I'll shoot in the fog here, you aren't very clear where you are and what is the problem. I am going to assume you have the Labyrinth unlocked and you can travel there. That means you can get at the entrance. If you can't advance maybe you didn't open a Letter from Mister Inch you should have received at Dangerous 97, which is a storylet that appear in all locations of Fallen London. That start you on the Labyrinth of Tigers story, allowing you to get some work done there. Ignore the warning on the letter, you can still hunt monsters at any time.
You should get, in you profile under the story tab, the Making Progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers quality, which goes from 1 to 16.
Hope this was the problem if not edit you post or answer in the topic, we'll give you an hand, but we need to know as much details you can give us.
8. Notability, what level you got? Maximum is 15, I think.
9. Can you max your BDR gear? How many points do you have? It really helps with notability.
10. Profession. There are 4 Tiers of Professions at this point. The first tier are the Training Profession you can get via you Lodgings, Enquirer, Minor Poet, Pickpocket, Tough.
The second Tier Professions require you to pick a Connection Card, and spend some point of that Connected: Whatever faction you picked to get your new job. Some of them have also requirements. For example I'll pick Enforcer. One can become an Enforce via the Connected Criminals or Revolutionaries, but the Criminals Card had a requirement: in the dispute between the Last Constable and the Cheery Man you needed to have favored the Cheery Man. But you can still access every professions, you just need to have the required Connections.
The third tier Professions are already more tricky and interesting. To get one you need to have the corresponding second tier Profession and you need to wait for the Card "an unsigned message" to appear in your hand. It has a Very Infrequent frequency and it requires you to have at least one point of notability. With two points you can upgrade you profession from say Enforcer to Murderer.
Remember the third and fourth tier Professions require you to have the precedent tier profession.
Eloquence and Clarity are not my strongest points so if something is unclearly explained take a look at the wikia, it gives an overlook of the Professions and their bonuses and rewards.
There are also 4 Professions, still acquirable on the an unsigned message card, that require you to possess no profession and three points of notability: they give no objects but pay in Echoes, 60 two, of them and 70 the other two.
Only you can decide what career you want to work for.
11. Can't help you with the business with the Face, still not got to it.
12. Which level of Scholar of the Correspondent you possess?
13. Have you completed the Affair of the Box?
14. How is your Connection The Masters?
15. Do you possess an Overgoat? and a Ubergoat?
16. Do you possess a Salon or Orphanage?
17. Do you have a Bifurcated Owl (fate-locked)? And ravens? Of both the Devious and Philosophical quality?
Can't think of nothing more now, but there is surely more stuff. I'll edit the post if I get new ideas.

Agh, as the saying goes, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. And then he teaches another man, and another, and the men who've been taught teach many more men. Soon enough everyone knows how to fish, and then they go on big ships that cover the entire ocean, slowly but surely emptying it of fish. Sometimes it is better to just keep people ignorant, and feed them a fish a day. Blissful Ignorance. It's the name of my Cheerful Goldfish. 
Not that I would ever keep people ignorant on purpose. For Commissioner Pravin Lal has said: "Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

Well, if they don't fish more than they can eat, the result would be the same as if you gave them fish
Me, I prefer Lady Deirdre. Who needs diplomacy, when you have Mind Worms.

The wiki is deliberately unhelpful. The majority of the fun in this game is finding things out for yourself.
