Idk what the right job is for me - All my skills that were originally hobbies became exhausting ....

Hello friends. I have tried various different skills but I have not found the right job for me. In short, now I am a cybersecurity freelancer but I feel like I am bored doing it over and over again even though the income is quite good in my country if I get it every time. Before I dived into cybersecurity skills, I also tried other things such as web development, UI / UX, and design since high school and at first I enjoyed it as a hobby but when I made it all into a job or something that could make money like freelancing, I felt depressed and stressed because I didn't get the money then I got bored and burned out too, just like cybersecurity felt and now I have been burned out for 7 months because of this condition. Oh yes, now I'm 20 and I'm the only child of my parents, maybe some of you will think I'm the most relaxed person in the world but honestly I want to earn my own money and don't want to depend on my parents all the time, anyway this thought has been there since I was in high school but what can I do in my country finding a job is hard even though on the other hand I've also tried to join several communities and volunteer to network but there is no information regarding vacancies, they said the jobs I've tried require years of experience to get in. This is very tiring for me that's why I jumped into freelancing. Btw, I've consulted my psychologist too and he said it's okay if you don't have passion and your work is what it is the most important thing is that you can enjoy life but unfortunately this advice is difficult to put into practice because of the obstacles as I mentioned before. I'm really devastated at the age of 20. What should I do? What advice can you give me?

Please don't answer:

  1. Go to college: honestly, college doesn't help improve skills and jobs because connections here don't completely guarantee getting a job (based on my observations from people who graduated from college and are unemployed).
  2. Just relax, you're still young and have a lot of time: I don't mind relaxing, but at least I want to try and earn money.

To be real, I don't mind trying new job, but the problem is that finding a job in my country is not easy, even if you have a degree, it doesn't guarantee that you will get a job easily. I also asked this question to various forums and some still support continuing my freelance work because of the compensation considerations and the best of the best options.

Ask your peers who are into this or people who had the same qualifications/skills as you. Maybe you’ll find some clues from it. Also, starting something is never easy. You’ll be stressed and might not make money all of a sudden, so it’s better to keep patience and keep working as much as you can!
