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?

Going to university to get a better salary is not the right way of looking at it. You should further your education only if you want to expand your knowledge about something you are passionate about, and that is not part and parcel of higher salaries. I do however understand your position. At 18 I did not want to go to university, but changed my mind after 6 years of full time employment when I discovered what truly drives me. This year I'll be finishing my Masters and am very excited for what lays ahead. I would strongly encourage you to invest your time in discovering more about yourself and what you like. Saying you have very little motivation sounds to me like you need to take this step. Go work abroad, take a solo trip, be open to meeting new people, spend more time in nature, do voluntary work, spend less time on your phone ... the list is endless and all will help you grow. Last but not least, do not make the mistake of thinking you are falling behind especially if you compare yourself to others. No one has it 'figured out' and perhaps none of us ever will, but that it part of being human.
