How to make money elsewhere?
OK so I currently work a 9-5. Making £4495.70 monthly. By time tax, student loan, NI come out all I get is £3060.
I ddont see myself being in this job forever as its mentally taxing and honestly the pay in my opinion is not great. Work is stressful and doesntly allow me to be a happy version of myself.
I am trying to think of other ways to earn money. I like the idea of working for myself.

Honestly, your take home is more than most people earn before deductions.
The pay is great and youll struggle to match that anywhere else if you join at entry level positions (depending on your quals and career youre in).
Self employment has its perks but its way harder to start earning money.
What is your job role ? £54k p/a is decent depending on the role.
You can keep your job and still look for other opportunities out there.
You get paid loads. Being that to earn that much you must have a fair amount of experience so pick what it is you want to do and go down that route.
Do you have a skill you could use to get freelance or contract work on the side?
If you really hate your job I'd try to understand what it is that you hate and how you can change that. Is it the industry rather than the job itself? Is it this specific company?
If it's truly the profession you hate then I'd look to retrain. I was earning similar about 15 years ago and took an enormous pay cut to essentially start again in a new role. It's been worth it in the end! With the way everything is changing with AI though I'd look to retrain in something that's more AI resisliant and can't be replaced so easily.
