What do I need to do in 2017? My date of birth is 4/30/1965.

I am currently out of work and looking for a job, I have been to many interviews, but I know deep down whatever job I take will not be fulfilling, the salaries these jobs are offering in my career field are low, very low for a person with a degree. I have bills to pay;however, I really feel like I should be using my talents to gain the salary I desire and the freedom I crave. But I'm hesitating in doing this for some reason. I need to be free from schedules, office parties, and long commutes I need help in the right direction to take.
