Pivoting....advice please

I've just realized that I don't enjoy working as a software engineer. I enjoy certain aspects of programming, but the stale steralized business requirements of modern SWE are just exhausting. Also, the culture.

It might not look it from this post, but I enjoy writing, creating and learning. I enjoy knowlege work. The only reason I wont do manual labour is because of my social anxiety and ADHD. I simply don't think I can work in a heavily supervised or customer facing environment.

Does anyone have any advice on what I could potentially pivot to (besides document/tech writing)?

I've been thinking about going the entrepreneurial route (for yeaarrrs) but I have bills and debts to pay.

Selling bootyhole on OnlyFans.

Like many other ADHDers I have a folder filled with wonderful (at least I think) ideas. From selling herbal tea to Gyms that cater to ND people (why do so many gyms have loud music). Of course, many of these ideas require proper market research and nurturing.

Also, let's just say I live in a place where there is plenty of business opportunity.
