I feel lost at 24 and would like advice on how you knew what life path to take (F/24)

Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity

Hi everyone. I am a 24 years old and, as the title said, I do not know what to do with my life and I feel so behind. I feel drained knowing I am behind. I have tried so any things but nothing is calling my name and I feel now at this stage, I may not like anything and will just have to work anyway (obviously) and enjoy life outside of work. I do not currently work anymore, but I do have an interview today for an esthetician, so wish me luck!

Things I have done to try and find my niche:

  1. Military for 6 years.
  2. Barista
  3. Paralegal
  4. Finished Bachelors in Public Safety Admin and Paralegal and went to Law school after but did not finish.
  5. Esthetician school. I then started my business five months ago and hate it. I spent around 10k total including 6 month rent (luckily I only signed 6 month lease in case this happened) so I can get out of it next month.

The good thing, Is I have 90k saved, and by the end of the month with expenses I will have around 88k left. I feel like thats good at least? But even with all of this, and expenses being low because I live back with parents. HOW DO I FIND A JOB I LIKE??? Is there something you guys did to help you find it? Did you go back to school? Did you just fall into it? Are you still struggling? Are you happy? I just dont know what to do.
