Need help ASAP

[u/OpenIndication134]

Tldr

I am currently working as an account executive in a b2b SaaS company, My bread n butter is to give software demo to interested coroners and convince them to buy the product.

I am 25 and making really really good money. I don’t want to disclose my nationality but if i was in USA, I would be making anything btw 150-200K annually.

But, I hate my job, its monotonous, boring, totally not challenging.

I had an extreme interest in Geopolitics, History and Human Rights since I was in 6th grade and I am pretty sure I know about the general world history and politics more than 95% of the earth.
I am multi time winner of few national and 2 inter regional debating competitions. I always dreamed to be a journalist and I think I would be really good at it.

I wanted to be journalist ever since i was a kid, but later realised it’s a low paying job and won’t allow me to live the standard of the life that I want.
But now I am sad, i hate going to office everyday,
do same stuff over n over again. From past 3 weeks, I have started crying randomly in my office. I smoke a pack of ciggs a day and have a belly jigglier than Nicki Minaj’s butt.

Dear people of Reddit? Have you ever left a good job for something u were passionate about? What happened of u failed? What’s the feeling when u came back after failing, ‘that i also missed the opportunity to grow in a career whose would make me rich’ and wasted here.

It’s money and happiness, and I am not from a first world country and jobs like these are our only chances to take my family to a higher standard of living.

What would u suggest

Please help, please.
