Do you ever feel inadequate? I recently started binging New Amsterdam and am totally hooked. The selflessness and dedication these characters have to their job has really been making me doubt my self and giving me major career fomo.
I graduated college with a bachelors degree, and am currently working in a job, in the field I studied in, but a job that requires a high school diploma or GED. It’s a government job, and has good benefits, but I just feel like i’m not working to my potential. I feel like I have a job, but not a career. I want a big girl job. I want to have passion for what I do. The problem? I don’t even know what I would be passionate about. I have passion for poetry and writing, but is that a viable career opportunity for me? No. I feel like I really have no avenues. I’m stuck to feel like I’m drowning and losing myself in a job I don’t love.
I don’t hate the idea of going back to school to get my masters, but am I set on this field for the rest of my life? I’m really not sure. When I get my bouts of mania I have all these ideas of what I would want to do. I’ve started writing memoirs, and even started a screenplay. I only really have effort for these during my manic stages. Although I don’t see these hobbies going anywhere, at least I still enjoy them.
How many other people go through this? Of course I know everyone feels stuck at times. How do people get through it? I wonder if I ever will get anywhere.
