[SERIOUS] To the crypto enthusiasts that have made their wealth due to crypto, is this feeling normal? Need advice, life feels whole/completed but empty at the same time.

To anyone that has made a living, generational wealth, or any relatable sum from crypto, have you ever had a job? If not, how come?

A little bit of background: International student gets a CS degree, due to VISA and immigrant status, can only work degree-related jobs, and I believe I am also able to take those 'app-driving' jobs like Uber, Lyft, Walmart Spark, Amazon Flex, etc. I have been denied from Spark due to driving once with a suspended license, so I am getting rid of all those jobs for now.
Tech crisis comes by, jobs for jr. dev's are at all time low, etc- So I went a opted for a Master's in the meantime. I, however, have never worked a day in my life and feel like I am missing out of an experience that I believe everyone should go through, my family is not millionaire wealthy but we did not have any issues for tuition nor lacking rent money, etc. I can tell that makes my American friends look down upon me for some reason, and I do feel kind of POS as my fiancé still goes to work at a 9-5.

I am yearning to work a 'normal people job' for at least 3 months, but have no idea what to look for. I believe my current work status does NOT let me work outside the tech field unless I apply to some other EAD I am applicable to; this may sound incredibly stupid, and whatnot, but I have a strong feeling I'll find like-minded people here and am incredibly curious into their stories, experiences and outcome. Sure, I may be comfortable in crypto assets for my lifestyle, but I am nowhere to be called a "millionaire." yet!

I was wondering, what could I do on the meantime as I take my CS master's and the tech market fixes itself? Don't get me wrong, once my master's start I'll be applying to tech internships; but why do I feel an incredible sense of guilt for not having these 'average joe' experiences? Even Bad Bunny worked at a supermarket as a grocery bagger.
