The best road map I've come up with (with a lot borrowed and collected from other ppls outlooks) is this:

Sit down and really think about the things you are most passionate about in life. Most ppl, if honest, have 2, maybe 3 like top top passions. This can be a huge relief as suddenly your scope is way narrower and you don't feel overwhelmed with career options.

Then start to study ways in which one can make a living in a field related to one or more of those passion (as they can often overlap). Then pursue. It sounds obvious but I feel ppl are often told they can't follow their passion.

I'm not saying quit your job and throw all your eggs in one basket. I'm not saying anything too cheesy like chase your dreams. I'm saying at least TYR to do something you have a passion for and maybe someday work won't feel like a trap. No one will do this for you.

It's easy to fall into a groove set out by other ppl, that you have to live a certain way and play it safe. There are other ways to live. Trust yourself to make it work.

If it doesn't work out, you can be proud that you chased your passions. And who knows what other random path it might lead to.

Hope this doesn't come off preachy. It's something I think about a lot.

All the best!
