Right now I'm 25 and it's simultaneously a mixed bag but also the happiest I've ever been in my life.

>Dad pressured me to major in chemistry
>Immediately went into sales after graduation because I hate chemistry
>At least he paid for college, but the moment I graduated he divorced my Mom
>Family has been destroy
>I grew up seeing my Dad as a hero but now I honestly seem him as semi-sociopathic
>I'm not that great at sales, considering bailing to IT but still trying to find my next sales job
>My Mom is seeking therapy, seems mentally disturbed
>Sister is also not using her marketing degree, can't even find a job.
>She's even considering going back to college AGAIN to get another bullshit degree
>I'm trying to dissuade her because despite my lackluster sales career I've learned already so much about how the world actually works and what's actually useful.
>Family is literally broken and spread across the country
>Nonetheless I proudly moved out on my own, rekindled my passion for history and philosophy, picked up reading again, found the self discipline to lose weight and spend my days more effectively by learning to code and basic IT
>I'm pretty good at interviewing now

So overall, my 20s is rather turbulant, but I'm in a much better place mentally than I was in college. I'm getting better at sales and if I can get some basic IT certs in additional to learning some programming I could have a lot of different paths open up for me in the future.

Only downside is that with his pandemic, I'm limited in what self improvement in what I can do. I still have never had a gf. But I've gotten better at talking to people. I need to attend parties to continue breaking social anxiety. Once I'm fit and not fat (thanks to keto) I'll gain more confidence. I am also economically reliant on my Dad, which is unfortunately.
