OkayOkay Wrote:I hate that I am putting so much of my happiness/"spirit" (or lack thereof) on having a "career" and figuring myself out professionally. It has been a great source of stress and discontent in my life the past few years.
Maybe I'm just expecting too much out of myself. I have friends and acquaintances who are doing jobs they just "fell into", jobs that are just "jobs"...etc.
I don't know if I should just go with whatever I can land and make a decent living doing instead of trying to find to chase after something that makes me feel "fulfilled". This entire saga is getting so old now that i even hate talking to my partner and friends about it. I hate feeling like a whining man. I just keep my feelings bottled up inside.
It's funny--I feel so confident and "together" in every other aspect of my life, but professionally...I'm so lost. It's a shame.
It shouldn't be this hard.
I think what you are experiencing is normal and I have to ask...if you changed locales would there be more opportunities?
