>I took some electives in programming and found it even more... Soulless?
Yeah, I struggle with that too. There's a handful of software related jobs that have "soul" (embedded IoT, dynamic highly-mobile robotics, Sensor work, Aerospace, & Agricultural work, anything that extends beyond the desk really) but unfortunately these are real niche and rare / hard to obtain.

Fact of the matter anon is fulfilling "soulful" careers are almost non-existent. Pursuit of them may yield success but produce tons of suffering. (e.g. You become an awesome artist, but AI enters you're finding even less work.)

Find soulful hobbies to do on the side while you fund yourself with marketable skills. Look up the concept of "ikigai" for guidance.
