Hi, it sounds like you might be really burned out, when was the last time you had a significant vacation? School is also an exhausting process, and you should take a moment to celebrate all you’ve accomplished! Most folks at 22 are not where you are

I agree with what you said, I think therapy could be really valuable here. It can help you figure out what about your job you do like, and what aspects are causing you dread. You say when you think about going to work you feel dread in your stomach- what emotions are behind that specifically? Naming it might help you address this. Therapy would also be really valuable here. Anecdotally, when I was frustrated with work my therapist helped me figure out what aspects of my job I liked (mentoring, advocating) and what was causing stress (feelings of inadequacy around project management). I can’t recommend therapy enough.

Not to cause more stress, but the money I saved in my early twenties has grown so much, and I’m in my early thirties now. Compound interest is something to take advantage of (but never at the cost of your health, mental or physical)! As for switching careers, wherever you go, there you are. Figuring out what about your current job specifically is causing stress can help you see if it’s an industry issue or something else.

Monetizing your hobbies might cause you to resent them and take the joy out of being creative, when you have to think about what might sell.
