Ans: Hello
Reasons you have mentioned for quitting will be there in most regular jobs.
They only seem to disappear in case we work in our interest/passion areas. Hence you need to do deep reflection to figure out your intersection point of 'skill plus interest'.
Since I am not aware of your exact education/profile details, won't be in a position to recommend any specific path etc.
Please share details & feel free to ask further.
All the Best!!
