M20, 5 years into a career that doesn’t fulfill me — how do I find the right path?

I’m a 20-year-old guy who’s already been working for 5 years in an industry that doesn’t really fulfill me, and doesn‘t feel right.

Everyone tells me that studying and further education is the best way to become successful and wealthy, but I know that’s only true to a certain extent. In the current state of the economy a regular job is sometimes not enough to feed a family.

My goals are clear, and admittedly a bit cliché: make good money, live a nice life, be free from financial worries, fulfill my childhood dreams and build something for my further life. Sure, pretty much every young guy my age wants that in some way — but for years now I’ve had only one thing stuck in my head: HOW.

Every time I get an idea, I overthink it and start doubting myself, even though I know I should probably just try it. And the longer this goes on, the more frustrated I get, because it feels like time is slipping away from me.

Does anyone have good advice on how to get on the right path toward building a fulfilling life? And if anyone has been in the same situation and managed to turn things around, I’d really appreciate an honest answer.
