I can't decide whether to try and get a job in a field I hate (even though it means there's a possibility I can leave my unsupportive family's house quicker) or pursue a different path in software development (even if it means staying at my family's house longer). What would you do?

TL;DR: I'm a recent fine arts graduate with a history in freelance marketing.

I hate marketing, but feel the need to pursue it because it's the quickest and/"only way out" of living at my parents.

Taking into consideration all of what's happened this year (mental health problems worsened by family conflicts and living at home, pandemic, unemployment) and all of what I need to consider for the future (job security, pay, mobility) I don't know whether to:

a) Still search for marketing jobs even though I hate it with the hopes of getting out of my parent's house quicker.

or. . .

b) Pick back up my previous passion and pursue a coding bootcamp that will teach me the skills to get a higher paying, more satisfying career even if it means having to stay stuck in my parent's house for six more added months.

I'm a recent fine arts graduate with freelance history in marketing and I have no idea where to continue with my job search considering everything that's transpired this year.

Since graduating my mental health's been considerably deteriorating because I'm having to live in my strict parent's household (they're slightly homophobic which isn't helpful because I'm gay and they're aware of it).

I haven't been able to get a job which'll give me the financial independence to finally leave, and, at this point, I'm just severely at a loss as to what to do, because every seemingly option I've tried to undertake just ended up crashing and burning right in front of me.

I hate marketing with a passion and really don't want anything to do with it any longer. I only freelanced in it for a time being as a side gig during undergrad and because my parents told me it was the only area I'd be able to get a job due to my education. Now that it's the only professional experience I have, it's all I've been applying to (unsuccessfully).

Truthfully, the sole reason I'm only considering going into marketing is that I'm hoping I can get out of my house quicker (ie, ideally by January). But, considering that it's less than a month away from the beginning of the holiday season and the end of the fiscal year for a majority of companies, I don't even know if that ideal is possible any longer or that a company will even hire me/have me start working this year.

I used to play around with coding a year or so ago, but never considered a career path because it was so late into my degree. And yet, after talking to several of my friends who're software developers and were seemingly untouched by COVID, are all saying that I should consider pursuing coding as a career because of my passion for it. My hesitation with pursuing it though is that it pushes back the time I'd be able to get out of my parent's house. The bootcamp ends early March, and taking into account the job hunt, I probably won't be able to move out till June of next year versus January with marketing.

The pros of pursuing coding/softwaredev is that not only is it a skill that'll give me job security, it's something that'll always be in need (with technology constantly changing) and at least it's something I enjoy. It pays higher than marketing as well.

But, having to stay in my parent's house because I'm financially dependant on them for an extra five/six months is heart breaking.

Does anyone have any advice? What would you do in my situation?
