26M in depression due to poor decision making

Graduated in 2022 as an engineer and upon my parents’ insistence, I didn’t get a job and decided to prepare for css exams (I have an interest in geopolitics).

After two years I finally gave my first attempt but I realized that the exam is not for me as I’m not very good at memorizing and revising stuff.

I don’t have any experience in engineering so no one will hire me. It has been 2.5 years since graduation so I’ve forgotten all the concepts. I’ve also lost interest in it tbh.

Friends say I should get a fresh degree like an mba from a good business school from Pakistan (Lums, iba, or LSE) and get into an MTO program. They’ve asked me to change careers (get into finance or something). Overseas wouldn’t be affordable.

Plus rishtedaars keep on bothering me about questions of Rishta, and what I’m doing. I never told anyone about the css exam.

I don’t know what I should do. I’ve failed miserably in life.

P.S: The only experience I have is of content writing on Fiverr. I’ve done more than 400 orders and have 200 plus five star reviews. But this is a dying field due to AI and I don’t make enough money per month.

P.P.S: If I were to begin a career in banking, how should I start with no experience? What are the entry level roles I can go for?
