When I was your age I determined that the best way to avoid these situations was to figure out my core principles, then operate from there. If a job isn’t consonant with my beliefs then I avoid it. I am the self-employed type in general but have worked some wonderful jobs too. In my case, it was important to balance having a job I enjoyed with a family life that left me plenty of time with children, and never to work at a job that I thought would embarrass my family. YMMV, but the point is I never ended up in a position where I had worked 20 years and found no fulfillment, or burned me out, or left me divorced, or left me with children who didn’t want to hang around me.
