Start by mapping out your ideal life - Is it living at the beach? Traveling the world? Or living a simple country life? Once you know what your life goal is, work backwards to identify what you would need from a career to achieve this.
Maybe there's an income level you'd need to target, or perhaps flexibility is more important. Maybe you'd like a job where you travel or one where you work alone and never interact with anyone.
Write all of these requirements down and start researching careers that fit your needs.
In other words, think of your career as a tool to achieve your ideal life.
It's probably already a failure to try if you don't want to be in that situation. That's why so many people hate their jobs, they shouldn't have started it.
