Hey everyone,

I’m a 24-year-old from France with a Master’s degree in digital marketing and around 4 years of experience through internships and freelance work.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like a failure. I’ve come to realize how emotionally immature and irresponsible I’ve been. I’ve always lived with people who took care of me : my parents, my girlfriend, and now my grandma. I really want to start living on my own, paying bills, buying groceries, and handling my own responsibilities.

While my friends and family seem to have stable jobs and good incomes, I’m stuck in this loop of applying but never landing anything. I’ve even started workshops to improve my interview skills because, honestly, I’m terrible at them. I know that comparison is the thief of joy, but it’s hard not to when I know I’m capable of more, and it’s killing me.

Now, I’m not even sure if I like or hate marketing anymore. I’m questioning everything.
Right now I am thinking :

1. Should I settle for a minimum wage job ? That means for my whole life ?
2. Move to another country and secure a low-wage job to discover new thing in life ?
3. Pursue another degree that brings money, like finance, which I could use anywhere in the world ?

I’m introverted, tall, decent-looking (I think!), and generally have a good vibe, always smiling. But my ego sometimes gets in the way—I know I’m capable of a lot, but maybe it’s just not my time yet.

Any advice or personal experiences would mean a lot. I’m seriously considering going back to school for another degree, but I’m not sure if it’s the right move.

Thanks in advance!
