What would you advise me to do?

So i'm really struggling to know what to do at the moment and it's been taking a mental toll on me. I have nobody to speak with about this so I would appreciate some advise.

Currently im a 3rd year undergraduate student soon to graduate in July in English and Classical studies. In the past I had different ideas of what i wanted to do. I was interested in psychology, politics, publishing, at one point I wanted to do a masters. Then it was writing and photography but all my various interested led me to develop no specific skill in anything. I realised after a time that none of those things interest me anymore. My degree gives me no specific skills since its a humanities degree. I just feel lost and don't know what i want to do and even if i wanted to do something, the issue is i have no relevant skills and experience because all these years i wasn't able to commit to one specific thing and im struggling to get any internships and jobs. The problem is that even when I apply there i have no real passion for it. I feel like i didnt get enough time to explore myself and my interests further because i never had friends and spent time in my room most life. My parents keep pressuring me to find a job or do a masters and they see me as a failure, as lazy but i can't seem to see the point in paying thousands for a masters that i dont even know what i want to do in. So im really stuck and confused.

Hey, hope you’re okay

I was in a similar situation however I made the difficult decision to actually drop out of university, I lost my passion for my course and all motivation therefore I wasn’t performing to my best. For the year following I looked for apprenticeships and though I was feeling anxious that I would be looked down on as a uni drop out and my family did not entirely support me, I went forth with my apprenticeship and I’m grateful to be in a field where I’m working towards a relevant qualification that will allow me to progress in the future and also earning money at the same time. I would suggest to you that if you chose to finish uni follow the apprenticeship route it seems scary at first but once you see the path you’re working towards you won’t frown upon yourself and neither will your family! Your career is long term and you want to be able to see yourself progress so best of luck to you!!!
