This is probably the wrong place to ask a question like thisSadly this . I can ' t possibly tell you what route you should take because I don ' t have access to your feelings and how every day is for you . Especially because I don ' t have stuff figured out for my own . All I can do is give you a few questions that help you to find your way hopefully , which I did . So . it depends what your goals are . Money ? Easy going job ? A challenge ? Living your dream ? What would make you happy on a day to day basis and how can you achieve it ? Or better said , how can you find a balance ? For me having a job I dread but a nice salary would not be a good balance because there would not be enough time for me to enjoy my money and after vacations I would consider killing myself every single time . For other people such a model is the perfect life dream . I always went with the urge that I want to express myself and go my own way hurr durr , but it ' s a great risk when you are not stable enough to pursue your dreams since it requires lots of willpower , a bit of passion , discipline , etc etc , which I lack so far . Still I am willing to sacrifice financial wealth if I can work in a job where I do every day what I like to do . You see , this is stuff you really need to figure out based on your own feelingsneeds . I think if you put work in it you can also become very good at something you are kind of good in right now , but the trick is in knowing yourself well enough to figure out if you are really going to put the work in . It ' s easy to fall into a trap where you say Yeah yeah if I do a 180 degree turn from now on . . or If I pull myself together now . then I can totally make this . But if you have a life of procrastination , anxiety , depression etc . behind you so far , it is wise to consider the option that you might not be able to go from 0 to 100 and figure out a strategy that lets you find a good middle ground . Try to keep the approach as personal as possible and ignore generalizations .
