You're in an interesting place. I kinda wish I had slowed down and taken in the options more at your age rather than rushing into a job.
The world has so many more options nowadays, so many that never even existed when I was growing up so it was hard to dream beyon taking on the best day job you could get. There was no idea of 'escaping the 9-5 grind'.
I think for most people a job is still the best way to go. You can learn skills and build a side hustle that can generate extra income if you decide. I've met people who are very good at thier work and they just accumulate a lot of bitcoin with thier surplus funds.
Unless you have a really good business idea, this would seem to be a good way to go.
