I don’t know what I want in life

Edit: When I first posted this, I was curious - Do most adults work a 9-5 then go home nua and watch Netflix? Occasionally hang out with their friends for dinner every week or so? Does everyone want to save up 100k before their 30s? Or was there something more in life? I’m definitely not complaining about my lifestyle. I realised that I haven’t been so independent with my parents supporting me and that isn’t exactly adulting. With that being said, I will start helping out within the family ( paying utilities etc ) and start paying for my own phone bills. Start saving up more for emergency funds. Along with that, i’m also going to try volunteering and look to join new communities or hobby groups!

22F here, earning about 4.5k a month

A little background on my past, I was quite rebellious in my teens. Got demoted from express to NA. Scored distinctions and went to PFP. Dropped out at year 0 and couldn’t apply to other local polys because I didn’t have an O level cert. Took private O levels and took up private diploma in Marketing. Somehow managed to get into SUSS and I’m currently taking a part time degree in Marketing.

During my private diploma days, I took up a part time role in healthcare with my friend. Converted to a full timer with a 2.8k salary. Jumped to another company and got promoted with a managerial role pretty quickly, earning about 3.8k a month. After about a year, got sick of management, yolo-ed, resigned and took a 6 month break from working and recently got offered a role with the same job scope for 4.5k a month.

I took up Marketing because my peers said the Marketing sector pays well. However, after taking my diploma, I realise I have 0 interest in Marketing. I can’t take up other courses in SUSS as I was only offered Marketing due to my private diploma. Obviously not going to put my marketing degree to full use and only taking it because my mom said having a local degree will help in job hunting in future.

I live quite comfortably. My parents pay for everything - from phone bills to education. There’s really nothing to complain about yet sometimes, I still find myself living from pay cheque to pay cheque due to my extravagant lifestyle. Travelling as and when and taking grab to work daily. I do have some rainy day funds but I don’t want to eat into that.

Is this how adulting is like? I feel very “sian” with life and I always wonder what’s next in life. Tbh, I don’t even know if I like working in healthcare. I work mainly to only sustain my lifestyle. I only applied for roles in healthcare because my only experiences are in healthcare and it pays well. Seems like my friends all clearly know what they want - from being influencers to even starting businesses

My question is how did you know what you want in life? At which point or what age did you finally know what you want to do in life? Do I just yolo and go with the flow?
