Help

I am having a certain life/future life crisis. Nothing too major I guess, but big enough to write about I suppose. I feel like this summer is so empty except for when I traveled to Brazil. That was a  truly life-improving/awakening experience, but now that is over and I need to focus on the present and future. I guess I am feeling empty because I don't know where to go next. I have applied to honestly 20 or so jobs and have either 1) not heard back at all 2) got a call back with a promise for another call and never really got one. I am complaining right now..but I just feel so pathetic and like a failure. I wish I could do something with art therapy, but then I think about if that is what I really want to do. It seems very interesting and effective, but am I really suited for something like that? I am very sensitive, and possibly too sensitive, to handle other people's problems but at the same time I feel like what I ultimately desire to do in life is help people. I feel that I easily connect with most people and that I should use that gift. I enjoy art, but honestly I am not skilled at most mediums, so would that hinder me? I just don't even know how to get connected with this field. I guess in relation to my summer I just wish I was doing something meaningful, or on the other side of the spectrum, I wish I was able to work hard enough to make a lot of money so I could save up to do things in the future. I am just confused and I wish I had some more guidance.
