What to do in life?

I didnt realise how bad I would struggle in life. Career wise especially. I make around 300-400 dollars a month. I was one of the smartest in my class. I was one of the best in sports. And in most other activities too. And everyone liked me because despite all this I was very humble and grounded. I expected life to be just as easy maybe. But once I became an adult I am struggling at making money. My trait of being humble is only working against me since in real life it's the loudest who gets attention. And now that I am 30 I quit my job to find better paying jobs. I am trying to do everything and hoping it would work out. I might be starting to burn through my savings doing courses that promises jobs. I start the course and complete it only to later realise these are just schemes where make money from desperate poor people trying to get rich. I am not a bad person, I have never cheated anyone, I am kind, always been generous with what little I earn, pretty smart, a jack of all trades, physically very fit and healthy. I am generally considered the smartest in my friend groups but I earn the least. Although I have managed to live comfortbly because of my frugal life style it wont be enough when I need to take care of my parents. I will never be able to raise a family of myself. What do I even do in life?
