Read some self-help books. Really.

I recommend Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkman and Mindset by Carol Dweck.

A career coach or counselor will be able to give you information and help you figure out how to achieve your goals, but nobody can actually tell you what YOU want to do with your career, because they don't live inside your head. You yourself have to figure that out.

For me, the tools in the above books have helped me get a better idea of what I want to spend my time doing and how I'm going to try and get there.

Also, commutes suck - maybe make your first goal getting a job closer to home, or a home closer to work?

I understand that... I have to figure it out by my own, but my dream was always do something related to tech, and I've failed at. Now, I don't know what to do. I'm blank.

Commute-wise, it's just that I'm much more mentally stable when I live with my parents. At first it was about the money, but now it's about having them around.

Thank you for the book recommendations.

> my dream was always do something related to tech, and I've failed at. Now, I don't know what to do. I'm blank.

No, you haven't failed. Everyone has their own journey, and just because your friends have achieved your idea of "success in tech" before you did doesn't make you a failure. You haven't failed until you give up, and the fact that you're making this post means you haven't given up.

Bob Moore started Bob's Red Mill, a massive and successful company, at age 60, after a long career that took him from running a couple unsuccessful gas stations to selling car tires, until he discovered his passion for (of all things) milling grains. It's never too late to find something you're good at and reasonably enjoy.

now you've got to answer these questions:

- Do you still want to do "something related to tech?"

- If Yes: Well tech's that's a big field, and there's a lot of room for people with vastly different skillsets. What subfield do you want to target? how are you going to prove you can get hired in that subfield?

- If No: what other fields do you want to look at? What initially drove you to tech? why are you even interested? Is it intrinsic or extrinsic? You could try doing an Ikagai exercise to identify other fields that might be interesting to you.

You should definitely read Mindset - at least the first two chapters.
