I'm 23 and I already failed at life

Last month, I turned 23, and instead of feeling excited about the future, I feel like I’ve hit a dead end. I worked hard, finished both college and grad school, yet here I am—struggling to find a job in the field I studied for. Worse than that, I feel like I already lost interest and I’m startinThe more I struggle to find opportunities, the more I question whether this is even what I want.

I spent five years dedicated to something that, at the time, seemed like the right path. But now, I look back and wonder: was it all for nothing?

I see my peers and my childhood friends and they seem to be thriving, moving forward. Like I failed and they are moving forward. Ughhh it makes me feel incredibly depressed.
