Help!! I'm confused and lost in the world

I'm (17F), extremely unmotivated in life and feeling really indifferent to everything... school homework/career aspects/social life. To be honest I've been struggling to change this outlook of mine for quite a while now but to no avail.

Now my problem lies here. Schools have been training us to work hard every single day, where many of us slough through practice papers up till 2am,and I question myself, what is the point of all this? In the end we only get a flimsy piece of certificate and maybe some useful knowledge. The thing is, when I thought the grind will finally end, I now realise that ultimately i will experience the same thing yet again--hustling in work, taking OT to complete what's supposed to be done. Trying to juggle a work life balance once again, what's the point of all this? It's a never ending cycle, a vicious one. We are all pawns of the world, in schools, we are trained to get the required skill sets to work for our economies. In the working world, I'm eventually going to be another pawn of a large corporation, aren't I? Working my ass off, like the cash cow all workers are. My purpose in life is now reduced to work hard, get good grades/good pay, and nothing else. It's such a meaningless life. Help me gain interest in the world, help me get motivated.

Perhaps this might be painting a bleak picture of what work or what life is for me, thus I'm feeling this way.

Can some adult kindly guide my teenage self out of this phase? (hopefully it's a phase), I want to get better. Thank you so much for reading this, stay safe:)

Tl:dr; some motivation tips?
