Help!! I'm in a weird situation

So just finished my graduation I thought I'll cry about not having a job but I got a freelancing contract as a technical trainer.

I want to become a software engineer, the current contract pays we somewhat 40-50k pm but work is hectic as I need to put a lot of physical labour, But the reason I choose this 1. Current market 2. I didn't want to sit unemployed as personal situation is not that good.

So what should I do? Like continue the same and I'm sure they will pay more cuz I got to from the manager that I have a good explanation skills or try to go get another work even it's paying very less.

The reason I'm asking strangers on the net is bcz it's so complicated that I can't even tell my parents about it....

So guys please if you have a suggestion or personal opinion feel free to give.
