“After four years of slogging away in GA, I've hit a wall and I don't know if I want to be a part of this profession anymore”

Quoting from your original post. Uuumh .......4 years slogging in GA ? That’s a minimum.
Did you do your homework?
The number of life long career opportunities in GA are like rocking horse sh*t.
Most pilots get into GA for one reason only. To get into a Major and fly a jet.
It has always been hard ,it has always been a crap shoot . Only a few make it all the way , but is it worth it if you win ? Absolutely.
And no , I have never vomited on my way to work.
Despite what some non-professional pilot pseudo expert contributors have said , committing to a career as a Professional Pilot is absolutely worth the effort and commitment. I might be naive , but I still believe it is a noble profession. The industry has been destroyed by accountants and HR departments , not by the job itself.
The COVID crisis is bad, very bad , but not unprecedented by any stretch. 1989 had me out of the game for over a year.
Plenty have had it worse.
How much do you want it ?
Thats all you have to ask.
