I wasn't sure where to post this exactly, so general seemed good.

I have been trying to choose a career for the last 3 years. That seems normal at first. However, I spend hours and hours doing online research, watching job videos on youtube, speaking to people about their jobs and taking every career/personality test I can get my hands on. I have come up with nothing.

1. I can't think of anything that I would call my passion, hobby or interest (except becoming a billionaire and getting to travel extensively)
2. I have issues accepting the fact that we live in a world where one or two weeks of vacation is reasonable, or is supposed to make anyone happy.
3. In my utopian world, I would want money to be no issue and I would like to spend my one shot on this earth traveling around and exploring all this world has to offer. Different cultures, geographic features... basically, a globe explorer.
4. I have considered jobs with extensive work travel like flight attendant, internal auditor, engineering/IT field technician, etc. I am not sure that I would enjoy traveling and only seeing the inside of an airport, company and hotel room. That seems like getting to try the most sinfully delicious dessert in the world without taste buds.

I have come to accept that globe trotter is not a possibility because I am not an heiress/billionaire/lottery winner.

Does anyone feel the same? Even remotely similar?

Please no comments on depression as a factor here. I have developed depression BECAUSE I cannot have my passion become a reality and all of the other options just seem inadequate. Thanks to all who read this.
