I'm 23M with an IQ of 133, i got a bachelors and a masters in chemistry with a high gpa but i failed on landing a job since i live in a corrupt 3rd world country, so now I'm unemployed and just rotting away in my room. My dream was always to become a scientist and work on drug discovery, but the path i followed and worked so hard on led me nowhere and made me pretty depressed. I'm not sure what i should do next? should i double down on my field and pursue a PhD (i would possibly still be unemployed even after completing it) or should i quit this dream/field once and for all and purse something with better job opportunities. I'm very confident in my ability to learn a new skill (like programming) that would be much more rewarding to me financially speaking. any advice is welcome!
