I just graduated and feel lost

I just graduated from college and feel like a failure. I'm 24 and looking for a job and want to break into IB. I moved here from another country on a scholarship. I wasn't the smartest and got held back twice, but I kept going and graduated from a top 30 liberal arts school in May did a junior internship at a BB but they didn’t give me a return

However, I see others my age or younger doing so much better and having their lives together, while I feel lost. I want to keep going and believe in myself, but at a certain point, it makes me wonder: Do I just not have what it takes to be who I want to be? Should I be content with whatever I get?

I never understood why I always kept going, but it ended up allowing me to come all the way here from being raised by a single mother in a poor household to studying in the US.

But now I wonder if this is the world telling me that there is only much you can try.

I don’t have the answers you’re looking for bro but I can tell you this: if you keep comparing yourself to others, you will never be happy. It is often those who appear to be doing the best that are the most depressed. Whatever you end up doing, give 100% and be the best version of yourself.
