At the crossroads of choice or what to choose?

Good day everyone!
Boy. Almost 22 years old. I work in an office in the field of trade, I issue documents in 1s, roughly speaking. I understand that you won’t catch much here, although they pay around thirty.
And I don't know what I want to do with my life. As a child, I dragged myself from mathematics, after the 9th grade I randomly got into college for the profession of "IS Specialist". For 4 years of a very poor supply of training, the WEB was hooked. I started HTML, CSS, JS, JQuery, then I get stuck on something and that's it, I can score for another month. Then it will catch on again and I’ll sit with my head for a week, but then I score again.
And it's always like this - animation, motion, editing will hook and I think: wow, how cool, I have to try. Then everything is according to the old scenario - I studied for a couple of weeks, something distracted me and I scored.
And every day I think: how will I earn untold riches for myself, and at least find a hobby for myself.
How, you experts, chose your path in work and were you able to realize all your dreams/plans?
How to come to this choice and plunge completely into what you like and on what you can earn not 30-40k, but more, if possible)

Earnings depend on the skill, the better you are as a specialist, the more expensive you can sell yourself. To be a professional, you have to love what you do. Works for all areas, not just for it. Well, you need to work hard and efficiently + constantly improve.
On anything, if you do it better than others.
Your problem is that you are looking for where to earn money, but you need to look for ways to become a pro. Because no one will pay you so much money just like that. This money must be worth it.

Do nothing.
You will die poor.

If you forget in a week or two, then it's not for you. To find yourself - you need to try something new, try a lot, read, travel, make new friends. Not IT alone so to speak.
I also did not study in my specialty, and the presentation was good at the institute, but I hooked the web, studied during the day, did remote sensing in the evening, coded at night. After a year of self-study, I began to earn money on freelance, pay for the institute, an apartment on my own, bought a car.
When there is no certainty - there are no plans, and the dreams that you even have now - in a couple of years will not be relevant (most likely), you have such an age when a year goes over 5 (according to the sensations of gaining experience), in a year when you look back , you think: how stupid I was, now the worldview is radically different. I’m just about 30 now and plans / dreams don’t change anymore, you look much further)
I mean, answering your question “how to come to this” - either wait for chance and you accidentally turn up an interesting topic (like me, but I’m lucky, now I think that I am lucky looking at friends who are tired of everything), or take my life into my own hands and look for the meaning of life on my own by trial and error.

@vicodin

it means there is no motivation, find yourself a motivator, xs, imagine how your life would change if you earn 10 times more than now

Will, discipline and determination. I just set myself a goal and deadlines, achieve it and set a new one.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
