I'm lost. Can you help me find a career?

I'm feeling a little bit lost to be honest. I'm in my mid 20s, and am just about to finish a maths pgce (teacher training), and I know with absolute certainty that teaching is not my cup of tea (underfunded, understaffed, long hours...and honestly I just don't care enough to put up with the bullshit that most teachers put up with).

Now I'm not disillusioned enough to think your career should be some kind of grand self fulfilment project or a passion you are just dying to do. As an INTP-A, I just want a career that allows me to work remote/hybrid, isn't bogged down in a highly technical nitty gritty skillset, one day will lead to a decent salary, and isn't impossible to get into an entry level position in the UK (I have a STEM degree). I did work in sales for a while, and it did meet most of my criteria but that job is quite stressful, since you can never be sure you won't be let go if you don't meet quota.

Do you have any advice for me, or do I just have to accept that any and every career is going to be a nightmare, and I just need to pick the one that is least horrid, while providing the most benefits?

I'm curious what careers you all have found yourselves in, and how do you feel about them?
