Feeling stuck- hate every job I’ve had

I have: Worked as a cashier (had to sell credit cards to people before I even really knew what a credit card was, then after a year got a 16 cent raise even though I was really freaking good at selling the credit cards) Worked at various pet stores (i couldn't keep it together with the inhumane treatment of animals there, selling live animals in shitty cages for 6 year olds?) Worked at a humane society (thought it would be better but corrupt board/upper management) Worked in a restaurant (one of the managers did not like me and I actually got fired from this one) Worked at a garden center (pretty good, fave job I've had so far but only seasonal, shit pay though) Work at a call center now (getting verbally abused by people around the country about their shitty greenwashed made overseas products for shit pay, I do…


I have:

Worked as a cashier (had to sell credit cards to people before I even really knew what a credit card was, then after a year got a 16 cent raise even though I was really freaking good at selling the credit cards)

Worked at various pet stores (i couldn't keep it together with the inhumane treatment of animals there, selling live animals in shitty cages for 6 year olds?)

Worked at a humane society (thought it would be better but corrupt board/upper management)

Worked in a restaurant (one of the managers did not like me and I actually got fired from this one)

Worked at a garden center (pretty good, fave job I've had so far but only seasonal, shit pay though)

Work at a call center now (getting verbally abused by people around the country about their shitty greenwashed made overseas products for shit pay, I do get benefits but we are so slow I burn through my vacation time because they send us home early when we're slow and I can't afford to not get paid)

I don't know how to break out of this cycle. I've had a fairly diverse set of roles and none of them have really worked or been able to do more than help me keep my head above water. With us going into a recession my current job is only going to get slower and if they start laying people off I'm fucked. My confidence is so low at this point because I feel like I should be good at SOMETHING but I cant figure it out. I love art but it doesn't make a living unless you're lucky. Tired of being miserable. Help??
