I'm a 33 years old french guy.

Lately life has been very tough. It's hard finding a job. I'm torn by trying to find a vocation, a job to survive or try more experiences to discover new things.

I found an ok job at a local beer brewery but my boss asked me to leave after 4 days cause "i'm too slow".

I feel lost, depressed... I try to do sport but that doesn't help that much. I'm losing the job of living.

Even magick doesn't seem to help. I try hard to contact my ancestors to have guidance but i don't know if its a failure or if i can't read the signs.

Sorry to hear. This is an obvious comment, but in jobs anything is better than nothing. In the meantime try any money magick you can find. Maybe try this:
Eventually it brought me a nice position.

I would try to concentrate on a diet that is as complex as you can do it. Eat something different for every meal. Tends to heal mental illness and gives more alertness and concentration.

Well, life in France is depressing tbh.

Sport can help with hormonal balance, I would not except more from it. (Although being fit fells good)
St john's worth oil (millepertuis in french) is a known antidepressant.
I'm not well versed into money magick but it's definitly worth a try.

This is a practice I do based on personal research and try it if you're curious about novel approaches...

Cup your hands together as if someone were about to pour water into them. This universal gesture of receiving symbolizes receptivity. As you hold your hands in this position, think of a goal or want and imagine it suspended in a globe swirling with yin and yang energy.
Imagine/feel energy gathering, intensifying, and perhaps tangible. When it feels appropriate to release this energy easing its manifestation, separate your hands. Turn your palms facing down so that your thumbs face each other, allowing the energy to drop toward the earth, and the material realm, and aid the realization of your goal.

Context/Theory:
The sensory/motor homunculus, developed in the mid-20th century, demonstrates hands occupy more space in the brain's sensory and motor cortex than other body parts. This suggests their primary importance in both physical and gestural.

Before neurological surgical studies, in western palmistry, the hands were/are believed to channel life energy and self-awareness that flows from the active side and moves to the passive side. The active (or solar) side of the hand includes the thumb (will, knowledge), index finger (Jupiter), and middle finger (Saturn). This triad represents the self exerting itself on to the greater world. A wand is naturally held so it extends outward for casting, a sword is held at its hilt pointing forward toward an opponent, or how a chalice is held upright.

The rest of the hand is considered passive or lunar. Emotions on the palm flow up from the percussive side of the palm (passive) up towards either/or the Mts of Jupiter and Saturn.

If you are afraid for your current survival, seek a job first.After you get more economically stable you can try to figure out the other stuff.
Or you can seek some hobbies that seem interesting to you(and not too expensive) and see if they may give you the other two.

I try to do sport but that doesn't help that much
If you don't mind me asking, which sport do you practice?In a rut, still doing a physical activity may sometimes be the one thing helping you not fall to despair(inaction is so much worse since it gives you time to think the worst and slowly get your mind poisoned by yourself, exercising a least keeps you busy and tired enough to not think that much).
It may even be the means to help you develop a healthier mindset if you can stick with it.

I feel lost, depressed
I feel like this has been the mode for many people ever since COVID.Somehow, somewhere, we took a wrong turn and ended up lost.
And not many seem able to find or figure out their own way towards something.
It is a battle sometimes to not fall for the inherent nihilism in society.

Do you know your Varna/ Dharma? Try figuring this out and it will give you a good direction to go.

I can also recommend you the Bhagavad-Gita. There are free pdfs on it on the web.

And I think the Indian embassy even sends you a hardcover version for free if you ask them.

It helped me a lot. And made me see life more holistically.
