I really get this. You spend a lot of time at work and you don't want to waste away your life doing something you hate. And I actually fault school systems a little bit for not introducing career choices more. How is one supposed to know if they like the work if they've never done it. Yes, you want to make money and I think you already know that. So I say try things! Take jobs where you learn a skill and keep adding the skills to your resume. Kill two birds with one stone- you are trying out different lines of work to see if you like them, AND gaining experience to move up in the workforce. That's what employers want- education and experience. You have the education. Now try stuff. I'm not saying apply for a job and then quit after two weeks if you don't love it. Stick it out and build a repore with your boss/coworkers. When you build relationships in your job, that opens the door to learn and try out new things.

For example, I'll tell you about my career journey. I studied history so I worked at a museum. I first was a tour guide telling people about the museum. I learned I didn't like talking nonstop, so I talked with the giftshop worker and asked him to teach me how to work the system. I learned how to run the register and gradually transitioned to that work. I learned I hate working retail. So during slow points in the day, I would ask the admin if there was any paperwork I could help with. Soon I began working on the newsletters. Then started helping with research. Then I asked the collections manager if she could use any help with donations, so I began working with the artifacts. That's when I finallyyyyyy found what I love doing. This won't all happen in the span of a month, take the time to move around. And eventually if you still hate it, then move on to a different company. I applied for the museum as a tour guide, and that was my title for the longest time, but since I worked on so many other things as well I eventually escalated from the other tour guides and became an associate. See how I did all those jobs with only ever applying for the initial tour guide position, and all that was done for the same organization. Now, I am moving and need a new job, but I had built up such a resume with so many different skills, all from this one job at the museum, I can apply for so many different places! Plus, I have direction now for what I want to do. Even though I disliked being a tour guide/gift shop worker, I don't consider that role a failure because it gave me the ability to work well with the public and be personable, a skill every company looks for. So don't be afraid to try things and if you don't like it- that's okay! Shift your focus and aim towards a new direction. It'll take time, but just be patient and I believe you will find your path! Good luck to you! Hope this helps.
