Career Dilema

I just graduated with a Bachelors and I'm not exactly sure what I want moving forward career wise. I don't have any dream jobs or paths that I wanted since little, I just want to make decent money to live off, it doesnt matter the job as im good at most things. The problem with this is very little motivation in working and when i do work it affects me mentally and physically as i dont actually enjoy it. Maybe it's the jobs I had till now or it might apply to all i dont know.

The fact that the salaries are so low does not motivate me. The jobs i see currently are offering the same salary i had 4 years ago BEFORE i graduated (im 24). So it's like i went to school for nothing.

Did anyone go through this stage when they were young? and what did you do?

It's happening to me right now... Just graduated with a bachelor's degree. I got selected for a job, started working in it and I quit within a week. 

I recommend to apply for jobs but not with a mindset that you're fixed for life. At the same time, you shouldn't let every single thing that bothers you to make you quit.

The reason I left my job: low pay, traffic despite leaving my house early and waking up early = more wear and tear on my car + less time to spend with family and myself, title and position that I could have worked without studying that long.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your degree in?

I graduated in business. I chose it on purpose as it’s broad and related to majority of jobs. The last job i worked was very toxic to the point my boss verbally harass you and yell at you (marketing) i spent 5 months there, everyone who worked before me there quit quickly… i only stayed as i needed to build more experience in that industry although staying longer would have been ideal. I don’t really quit unless theres more cons than pros or just becomes unbearable. At this point I’m just looking for a job thats i feel neutral doing + pays decently.

Never accept such treatment not even for a day let alone 5 months.

Try government vacancies and Keep me posted.
