Rant: Help keep me From self-judging as a failure: Corporate Hell edition

I graduated in 2020 with a life sciences degree and took large risks to attain employment, but the value of my skills are only diminishing over time. Because, all jobs I’ve landed are entry-level jobs that are purposeless and do not allow proper motivational work. Right now, I’m in crisis mode as I’m the only person on this part of the team and my boss is having emotional outbursts at me at least once a week for no good reason. It’s to the point that I feel physically sick with anxiety. I’m quite certain he’s throwing my character under the bus to his manager too, to make it look like he has it all under control, and nobody else will have to catch wind of these ungrounded outbursts. All this while I’m multitasking three physical operations at once at any time of the day, while also trying to maintain data…

Right now, I’m in crisis mode as I’m the only person on this part of the team and my boss is having emotional outbursts at me at least once a week for no good reason. It’s to the point that I feel physically sick with anxiety. I’m quite certain he’s throwing my character under the bus to his manager too, to make it look like he has it all under control, and nobody else will have to catch wind of these ungrounded outbursts. All this while I’m multitasking three physical operations at once at any time of the day, while also trying to maintain data logging/tracking and inventories in between all that. This is hell.

Ive been told time and time again by those superior to my role, to keep hanging on and climb the ladder. Nothing about companies appeal me, and any notion to make them more ideal in the lens of a future sustainable society is pretty much bullshit.

It’s to the point that all I want to do is remote work from home jobs for governing bodies, then use my free mental resources from this to take up creative hobbies I’ve missed working on.

Hoping there’s someone here who disagrees with that voice in my head telling me that all this makes me an abysmal failure.

Edit:
Forgot to mention, any work from home job I am eligible for would be pretty much easy admin stuff without much need for me degree. Yes my degree taught me many things, most of which would only help me if I were to do research or work in a lab.
