I'm 30. 5 years ago I had just quit a job I hated and moved internationally to work in another industry for a while.
Advice: quit faster. I've got a hang of it now, but quitting (relationships, jobs, hobbies) that are getting you down is the best.
I've learned quite fast (only started working in industry at 23) what jobs I like and don't like, been involved in 2 startups (didn't quit those - they just didn't work out), and am now a manager in a job that lets me work on my startups in my ample free time. I also own my own home, and have a really sweet girlfriend.
