I was thinking if ACCA is for me- has anyone else felt this way?

I’ve been doing ACCA mostly in isolation for the past three years – completely depending on my parents financially, with no college (dropped out of a shitty govt. college in India), no peer group, no exemptions, and honestly… I’ve barely progressed.

I’m not passionate about becoming an “accountant” in the long run. I started ACCA because it seemed like a practical, professional path that could lead to a stable job. It felt like the smart choice – and for context, I wasn’t blindly jumping in. I scored 98% in Accountancy and Business in my 12th boards (not flexing, just background).

But mentally, I’ve been struggling. The content doesn’t excite me. I don’t enjoy the studying since I started actually and I often catch myself wondering if any of this is worth it.

Still, I want to be something. I want to have a professional identity and the discipline to build a stable life.

Right now, I’m feeling stuck. In three years, I’ve only completed the Knowledge level and failed FR twice. I’m taking FR and AA this June.

So I’m just asking:
Has anyone else felt like ACCA just isn’t for them?
Did you stick with it? Did it get better? Or did you eventually pivot away?

Any honest stories, advice, criticism – it’s all welcome. I just need to know if I’m not alone.

TL;DR
Been doing ACCA for 3 years- and little progress. Don’t enjoy the content or see myself as an accountant long-term, but I want stability and a professional identity. Wondering if anyone else has felt like ACCA isn’t for them- did it get better what did you do how did you fix this issue or did you pivot?

Edit– I have interned at EY for Audit and Assurance and that was alright- felt like I could do that for a few 2-3 years but everyone around me from staff to assistant managers hated the life and work except the senior managers I guess you really need to love it to sick around that long.

I live in the gulf with my parents
