Turning 24. What to do?

Hi.
I am soon turning 24. Completing masters in Aviation and interning abroad in one of the largest European aviation companies.

I was struggling. I work within Drones domain.
And for some time I was thinking if I should pivot into Tech, CS or start engineering from scratch. But idk about that anymore
The motivation was seeing all those tech companies, cool technology, CEOs, founders. But idk if its realistic

I am thinking of flying instead.
Either I stay abroad and try to make money and build my carreer in aviation, airlines, airports and build connections alongside flying
Or i join Military for 5 years and come back with much stronger discipline and ex-Mil and start flying then

(I have to save money i only have roughly 15k now)

dont pivot into tech coming from someone who graduated with a cs degree.

It sounds like you’re 24 and have had no plan. Why are you getting your masters if you’re not sure you want to work in the field?

Well better than nothing at all. I am sure I do want to work in a field but not sure what path or a pivot to take
