ONE - GOOD ENOUGH

The most ideal thing would be to discover the exact perfect career that you love forever, one that perfectly syncs with your unique brain lol. But... Well, I'm not you, so I can't know what that would be. I'd be very happy for you if you did find your holy grail though!

Buuuut. A single, super-perfect career is a very high bar. It might not even exist right now.

So screw that, don't look for perfection. Don't look for most optimized career path.

Right now, look for the most accessible job that you can tolerate. That's where we're starting, path of least resistance. Something you can do, anything, so you don't go straight up homeless. Don't sink the ship lol.

For me, my tolerable job involves moving most of the day, a bit of actual thinking every now and then, and never starts before noon lmao. For me, jobs that don't hit those marks are intolerable. For me, this is good enough.

My tolerable job doesn't make a heck of a lot of money. But it covers the basics for me, and I try to plan out my savings for exciting expensive new hobbies in detailed, step-by-step shopping-order lists that I eventually forget about anyways lmao.

For now, find your good enough.

I think you are (as I was) panicking about being a sinking ship. You're right, that is not ideal. Out of your available options, pick the one that seems the most tolerable and start there. You get better at recognizing jobs you can tolerate with experience, but job hopping is work so do tryyy to pick the one that you'll stay at the longest. Job hopping monthly is... exhausting.
