I'd want to do that, but I feel like the careers that help people are all related to medical school. Or they are non-profit/charity organizations. My whole life has been spent checking all the boxes that prune and prep me for a career in the corporate business world since that's what my parents wanted and thought was best for me. I don't exactly hate my job (I barely just started it). But businessmen/women get bad reps for feeling no compassion for people unless profit margins are being met. It's all about the money, and I hate being associated with that. I'm basically an ugly duckling trying to fit in and pretend like I'm one of them. But what can I really do? I haven't even saved up enough to live a stable life on my own. Ends have to meet. I can't go back to school and take out more loans to restart my life. Got to work with what I have. In the end, I really am selfish and "all about the money." Even if I wanted to do non-profit work and charity, I can't see how I'd survive on no paycheck. So really I am your typical greedy, self-entitled, superficial, hypocritical, hurtful, ungrateful, attention-seeking, little ***** who is looking for excuses to cover it all up with feigned innocence and tries to blame other people for things that should be my own responsibility.

I think that you are very hard on yourself. I'm sure you have expenses and loans. There is nothing wrong with working in business. In fact, quite a bit of business involves helping people do stuff that they can't do, or can't do so well, for themselves. You are starting out, and it's good that you are saving. (Keep your savings in your own name.) As time goes on you will be able to use your savings and experience and skills for the ends that you want to pursue.
