Starr your own business: no one ever gets wealthy working for someone else unless you make even more money for people richer than you ie are a find manager or work in private equity.

ik!!
what do you mean by background? I would love to invest but you would need money for that
100,000 per year for me would be minimum for me personally but i understand that when i start working that it wouldnt be 100k per year so i understand starting of with a smaller wage but then later on i would like it to go higher gradually

There are also so many unsuccessful employed people. I you want to be wealthy you need to go looking for it. Don't ever expect it to fall in your lap. It will never happen.

think to the future what do you want out of it.

For me my job requirements were:

Allows me to travel
Career progression
Not a desk job
With animals
Semi decent pay

This led me to veterinary medicine.

Maybe make a list of things like that to narrow the ideas down till you start finding things you like

I think this is an important choice in life. Finding your favorite business is a great success. You must analyze your desires and capabilities. Personally, I started doing what I like quite recently. I opened my own store and I am happy. I work via the Internet on a special site and have enough time

how would you analyze your desires and capabilities?

Google. Knowing I wanted to work with animals (and the fact I was fairly academic) helped so I looked into conservation, zoology, veterinary, marine biology, research etc which narrowed it down more then I googled each job specifically and in detail. Looking at pay, career opportunities etc and just generally considering what would make me happy
