OP?
What is your educational background and what work experience field have you collected the bulk of your experience? I am in the same boat as you but older so I am appearing this at an accelerated level.
From what I have realized is that you don't get good income unless you have one or many skills or work specialized fields. The bulk of jobs are service or operations which are low pay, slow in upward mobility, and capped (you get chopped at becoming an operation or service "manager" working your ass off for meager increase in pay). Most then find a way into a skilled field but general laziness keeps them stagnant or on the typical ladder towards debt and working till they are 70.
The key is to avoid the service snd operations jobs and to only work skilled or specialist fields. While young you can do oil or other of these sorts but I would look at ways to attain skills that are linked to good compensation. These can be code, sales, or a future proof tangible technical skill. If you are crafty then learn some sort of crastmanship skill that can't be automated.
Once you focus on skills income you start to connect the dots and a pathway towards good compensation becomes much more clear.
Myself, after being sold propaganda while younger that sales is a dirty and lowly profession I am going to put myself in a position to learn the skill. Analytic skill I am still trying to narrow down but I've explored learning basic/intermediate accounting and marketing. Also, looking at ways to be a factor in now legal weed here in Canada.
At your age you have lots of time but start to think a kit how you can, with a steady pace, learn good skills and strain experience in putting those skills to work. If I was 22 again I would jump into sales because that is where money is. No business exists without sales.
Also, at 22 go work the best paying job you can get and go rough it for a little while. Stack as much money that can enable you to have good savings and acquire an asset of worth. The guys that hustled early to get enough little money to get a little condo they could rent out hedged themselves well. You'll see dudes your age blowing money on Hennessey and vacations to Thailand to go bang mediocre Australian girls. Don't get caught in that respect and get yourself ahead early so you can enjoy much better third when you hit your stride at 27/28. If I knew then what I knew now this would have been my focus.
Good luck with your journey.
