Ideas? Advice? Any relatability?

Advice

Currently I’m 22 and I do maintenance for a Ritz-Carlton. I enjoy my job and there is a lot of potential to be promoted from within plus the money here is good. I’m just not sure I’m entirely satisfied. I love to tinker and help people and that’s what drew me here but, something is missing and I feel like I should do more with myself.

Ive spent sometime looking into different roles and relating my interests but ive become even more lost. I like everything to do with stem so I’ve gravitated towards related roles such as engineering. I think a role in engineering could be good for me since I enjoy math, challenging problems and I could get to create something that matters but I’m unsure which engineering roles would suite me best. I also like tech and the ideas of coding and solving complex problems but I don’t know anything about tech and I hear the job market is to saturated and finding a job is next to impossible. The last thing I think I’d enjoy is something to do with space exploration but how do you even start or find a way into that.

Finally college. Is it worth going to college anymore. It’s expensive, time consuming and mentally draining. I love to learn and I wish I could learn as a job but I don’t think that’s very realistic. So again lost. I’m young and I’ve got plenty of time to figure this out but I’m hoping to develop some ideas.
