Getting employed/keeping my head up/best strategies?

Hi everyone, 

I realise that this may sound dramatic, but I promise that I have no sense of entitlement when it comes to getting employed. I understand that the employment market nowadays may be more difficult than ever and I may not be the only one finding it difficult to find work of any kind whatsoever. I apologise for my rant but I just do not know where else to turn to - I am hoping some of you wiser folk can share some guidance and wisdom. 

A little context:

I grew up in London but I went to undergrad in New York (target school so to speak - doesn't mean shit but for context sake). During my time in undergrad, I saw most of my friends go to finance and consulting, your typical high-achievers I guess. But I went through a hippie phase where I started to consider the meaning of life thinking I was edgy or going against the grain and decided to chase a dream of becoming a sports agent, which has proven so difficult, I won't bore you with any excuses. This ended up in me missing the timing of getting recruited straight out of undergrad to the "best" industries, which has proven to be so costly. Thinking legal knowledge would help me with sports contracts, I decided to come back to London and do a master's in law but I lagged behind the whole two years because again, I was just lost and confused but adamant I wanted to chase this dream. I graduated from law school three months ago. I was obviously applying to sports agencies and got really close to a great one about a year ago, but got cut when it came down to me and this other guy. Opportunities in this space are few and far between, and I even met up with my old boss at one of these sports agencies and said I got cut (different opportunity) because the kid knew the founder of the agency. It is what it is, don't hate the player hate the game. 

My family situation changed in 2021, my now single mother meant that I had to become the man of the house (as cheesy as that sounds). I have had nothing but the inward pressure to either make my dreams work out or more recently, get a good job so that not only would I not have to make my remaining family members worry about me, but also make sure that at least I was playing my part - I am Korean in ethnicity so this concept of being the man of the house is a bit more emphasised than your average English household, although I am sure some of you may relate to certain aspects of this, albeit in different contexts. 

Now:

I now am doing anything I can to enter any of the industries that are often discussed on these forums, but I can't seem to catch a break. I don't feel sorry for myself and I know it is a numbers game, where you have to just throw as many darts at the dart board as you can - it only takes one right? 

I have tried to network as much as possible, apply as much as possible to finance/consulting internships or off-cycle roles or any other entry roles but to no avail. I am not expecting the elite stuff either - I'd be happy knowing that at least I can be financially independent and finally step up to the plate. I know I should be doing this all for myself and my own future and what truly interests me most, but beggars can't be choosers and I'm a young man with little mentorship or guidance and so that's why I am putting this online like some desperate soul. 

To any of you guys that are willing to kindly share any advice or your own success stories, it would mean the world to me. Thank you guys!
