"I might finally settle down when and if I find a job I can enjoy somewhat" - I share this sentiment but often wonder if it will be the same then as it would be now. I know that time passes more quickly when you are older. That and memories and events become less significant. Perhaps the wise move would be to make as many good memories as possible now while I am younger.
And I somewhat agree, but at the same time, it feels as if I've missed making prerequisite good memories that most people have and that makes it hard to make good new ones. Without any family or friends it just makes sense to put all my time and effort into takinh my career in a direction I (hope) I'll enjoy so that I can salvage at least some resemblance of satisfaction with life.
