Yep same here. I’ve freelanced all throughout my 20s, never had a real job. Definitely been underpaid and exploited but I’ve had steady work. Not enough to live independently though, cost of living in Australia is absolutely ridiculous. Now nearly 30 and I am so exhausted and depressed. I want time to live, the mere thought of getting a full time job makes me physically ill. I started doing gardening work with my dad who is doing it as a retirement gig, it’s far more rewarding than anything else I’ve done but I am a quiet introverted type and not sure I could do this on my own. Life’s hard. I’m not against working, but for some people it is a real struggle and despite working hard they will never be truly successful. I just want a simple life with steady flexible work that pays enough to live alone..
