Hi everyone,
I feel pretty lost about the next steps I should take in my life, and hope to get some good advice thanks to this forum.
First of all, I feel like it's time for me to leave the family home for many reasons (my mom won't stand me any longer at her place and I get it, need to get responsible, and need to see/live other thing and leaving the place I grew up in).
I would've preferred to get into entrepreneurship sooner (like during my studies) but I wasn't aware of life reality and its traps (sidewalk and slowlane), and I now have to face them.

I now know that I have to climb the stairs towards wealth success road and it starts with a foundational job to pay the bills since I plan to live alone and I'm okay with that.
I graduated in marketing (bullshit degree) a few months ago and am supposed to be qualified to work as a product manager in the food industry.
I never knew what I wanted to do in life so I just let myself be carried away, following the subject I was good at. I graduated just because it is what a big part of the youngsters are told to do.
I think I could suit this job, and to have an insight into the food industry is quite interessant, but on the other side, based on my previous experiences (through internships) I feel useless at work (being on excel most of the time), and I hate the office working environnement: having to fake relations with colleagues, being forced to spend lunch time with them or trying not being frowned upon by them.
All this time I tried to legitimate my studies but I guess it was more to satisfy commitment and consistency.
Actually, the truth is I feel like I've lost 5 years studying for a bullshit job, and the only thought of moving out to work in this field is making me sick. I can predict the dissatisfaction combined to the rise of Indentured time caused by this job.
Working in fields like IT, sciences or trades are a better option because you feel useful, and you do have some expertise in a specific field, which is not the case for me.
I consider it is now too late to reorient just for a foundational job (I'm 24 yo), and that the next skills I'll dedicate time to learn must serve my Fastlane/Unscription venture.
Going back to the main topic of the thread, I need to get a foundational job and move out before climbing the other stairs but I wanted to know if I should pursue working into my field of study for which I studied 5 years although I'm not convinced at all or, if I'm looking for a "bullshit job" (and a place to live) I might as well look for one with more advantages like indentured time to free as a much time as possible.
Thanks a lot if you made it so far, I've been thinking about it for a long time and maybe I'm overthinking it and should just get a job related to my studies but I definitely need some advice to move on.
