How do I fix my career as well as tackle the loneliness of being... alone?
Post Body

Basically what the title says. I'm here asking what do I do to move on with my life?

A bit of background. I am 31, I graduated from university a couple of years ago (I continued my education as a mature student). I got amazing grades and did all the extra activities you're suggested. I even ended up representing the country. I got my "dream job" afterwards but the reality of that job was very different. While I had the prestige of the title, the actual job had me working about 12 hours a day every day for a salary of about 9k a year. So I left (on bad terms and possible legal action which we are negotiating till this day). I went and pursued my masters while working part-time in a different job and I'm nearly done with it now (funnily enough I made more at my part-time job than I did at my "dream job").

At the beginning of the covid lockdown, my partner and I at the time split up. I ended up starting a relationship with someone else not long after. The relationship wasn't perfect, we had our ups and downs (a lot of difficulty with lockdown) but we enjoyed each others company till she had dinner with this one "friend" long story short we're now broken up and they're seeing each other. This hurts, but I know the reality it was neither my longest relationship nor my most meaningful.

The reality is that I am looking for full time employment again, but I am purely doing this for the money. I feel burnt out with this field even though I've sacrificed so much (time, money, relationships) just to fight my way in. I still have my family, who I love dearly, but besides that I have nothing. My friends live all over the country so I rarely get to see them, I'm not in a relationship and I'm having very little success in the dating scene, and I've got very little money to my name, funnily enough, I had more before going to uni.

So, what do I do here? I kind of feel as though I've sunken into a pit. All I want at this point is a comfortable job where I make enough to live comfortably and I want to settle down, maybe have a kid or two. I feel like I'm at a stage of my life that I should have passed many years ago. How do I move forward?

Thank you for reading.
