Changing your mindset from "I went to university, therefore I should have a good paying job" to "What can I do to make myself more valuable to employers?" makes a pretty big difference.

Or "what do I actually want to do?", which is s pretty big goal with big incentives to try and reach it.

100%. Do what you love and never work a day in your life, also watch yourself effortlessly accelerate to the top of your field. Being the best at something nearly always means paychecks.

I don't know mate. I studied Political Science and Outdoor Recreation when I was in university, and when I got out I jumped from non-profit to non-profit making a difference and doing what I loved, all while needing to work 1 or more additional jobs to pay my bills, eventually taking a call center job instead, that taught me technical skills that allow me to now make good money in a corporate environment, which allows me to finally have enough free time to do what I actually want to do and enough money to donate to causes I care about.

I guess it does not apply to every field. To name obvious examples: Eating or playing games, it is going to be hard to find a job that pays for that.
