Approaching 30 with a first-class degree and Quran memorisation – yet feeling like my twenties were squandered. Anyone relate?

Assalamu alaikum. For a bit of background, I'm nearing 30, hold an economics degree, and completed Hifz in my youth. People always saw me as sharp and destined for success. After graduating, I didn't have a solid career path, so I just applied to whatever opportunities came my way. I spent a few months in an estate agency, then landed a graduate role at a tech consultancy where I was basically unassigned for a whole year before being let go. From there, I joined a local council-again, just applying everywhere-and now, almost three years on, I'm a data analyst there. Life's felt like autopilot: sleep, job hunt, relax, work. I dreamed of financial stability and a blessed marriage, but looking back, I never set clear goals. Now I've snapped out of that haze, wondering what I've really achieved in the past five years. If I lost this job, I'd struggle because my skills feel limited-it's mostly enhanced data entry. Most of my friends and family have stable careers and are married, SubhanAllah. I worry that without some divine help, I might end up back in manual labour, wasting my degree and letting down my parents, especially my mum who counted on me to improve our family's situation. I was the one who seemed to have it all together. I suppose I'm seeking advice. I make constant dua for Allah to protect me from disgrace, yet I recognise this stems from my own choices. I'm asking Allah for forgiveness and guidance. I truly never imagined I'd be in this position, and it's hard to believe I am.
