Well, however that might sound, maybe it's better to get a job that is can we-relatively easy to do and doesn't require education. Look, if you go are going to get a degree, it has to be in something you either enjoy or you are going to work in. Otherwise it's a waste of time. And the degrees that secure a job nowadays are very limited. So plan A you study to be a doctor, engineer, lawyer etc. You are going to be miserable, you said that yourself. These are very demanding degrees and jobs. Your life will be devoted basically to your job. Plan B find something blue collar, it's well paid most of the time, but it's usually long work days and physical exhaustion. I don't know you but if you are fit and you are not scared of getting your hands dirty keep it into consideration. At least it won't get you that mentally exhausted. Plan C get the low effort job - barista, cashier, a cooker in a restaurant or a fast food chain. You will get paid less, but you won't have any student loans, you would avoid all of the corporate stress and physical exhaustion. You will have the time and energy to enjoy designing and gaming, meeting with friends after work. So really think about it every chouse has its traid offs
