Background info: I'm 21 years old, 2nd year of University and currently at a summer internship.
This thread is about the current internship I'm at which is an office job 7:30 - 4:30 but I have to wake up at 6am and I don't get home till 5pm, at which point I am exhausted beyond belief. The job requires me to be stationary at an office desk for most of the 9 hours that I'm there. Its literally robbing my soul and bleeding my energy dry.
I've been working here for 3 months now and I've honestly come to hate it with a passion, not this job in particular, but any office based jobs. I'm paid pretty well, but I honestly can't see myself doing this even for even twice the money. The past few weeks I've been mentally battling myself on what to do but I think I've just been avoiding the truth that I just cant stay on any longer. I've been in the worst state of depression the past month with 16 hour sleeps on some days, a gambling outburst which saw me loose a good chunk of my savings, distant from family (who I feel are holding me back) and just all round depression and hopelessness.
The issue is that I do need to make money however, I can survive without it as I don't have any responsibilities (apart from gym membership and petrol). Just to clarify, I need to make money to live yet I still live with parents so I can survive and I won't be on the streets. I've already decided to hand in my 2 weeks notice tomorrow which instantly gave me mental clarity and relief but I have no clue what to do for my future (in terms of money).
The ideal solution is to start my own business but I know it is hard to do and I don't have any good ideas. So far all I am thinking of doing is to quit the internship, go on a holiday for a week for a mental refreshment and then come back to start work on side hustles for money until I figure out a good business plan. I apologise for the poor quality of this thread but I'm just not in the right state to create a well written one. I made this thread just for advice.
thanks
