Daily Q&A Session on Private Messages: Career Planning

Thank you for sharing.
I can sense your current confusion and pressure. You've experienced dropping out of school, working, returning to school, and studying in a major you're not interested in—all of these are not easy. Being aware of your situation and limitations is itself a form of clarity and strength.
You mentioned wanting to "use costs to do something," which is actually very good—indicating you want to try autonomous growth. Even with limited resources, you can start with low-cost, high-reward attempts. For example:
There are generally a few types of such businesses:
1. Creating video content or programming, but these require time and self-discipline. These have low costs, can be accumulated, and scaled.
2. Learning money-making opportunities on platforms like Xianyu, which have many information gap-based jobs. But the ceiling is quite low.
Finally, establish a sustainable personal savings plan to prepare for future opportunities.
As for your major, if you're not interested in acupuncture and massage, you can treat it as a basic skill reserve. In the future, it might be combined with other skills to form a unique competitive edge, such as recording media content—how to genuinely express and record things you dislike about acupuncture.
The most important thing is to start with small goals: learn a skill each day, accumulate some resources, make a plan. You don't have to eat the elephant all at once, but daily accumulation will gradually change the situation.
Confusion is normal, but action can bring hope. You're still young and have time to try and explore. As long as you do something each day that benefits your future, you're already on the path to overcoming confusion.
