I immigrated from a country where close to half the population is unemployed, and for young adults it’s over half. So people are pretty lucky to have any job much less a job they actually “love”. I came as a refugee actually so when you’ve been through war the mentality completely changes on what to expect out of life.
Given this history, it's understandable that you are not sure what you want and how to be happy. Plus, you may have different cultural customs than here in the states and it sounds like you are trying to assimilate to the cultural freedoms you experience here too.

How old were you when you came to the states?
