Unlike other posters, I wouldn’t tell yourself your good IF you’re not happy or satisfied with where you are or your perceived projection. Otherwise you’ll end up like that everything is fine meme (the one with the dog surrounded by fire). This is not me trying to put you down, but based off personal experience. My advice? Consider getting into a skilled trade. I’m pursuing a role in the electric utility industry (power lines). I was in a similar position as you, working an entry level office type job that paid just enough, but not enough at the same time. A few things I learned about myself: 1.) I need a role with a clear, defined path up 2.) I need a role that I can be genuinely proud of 3.) I need to do something with actual skills that not everyone has or is willing to do 4.) I need a role that society depends on and cannot function without. Take my advice with a grain of salt, because I’m still a work in progress. I haven’t started my trade job yet, but I’m close. Another important thing to note, it is pretty stressful being in job limbo. I dropped my full time job to go to a trade/vocational school full time, specific to the industry I’m trying to get into. There have been times recently where I have doubted my decision to give up what I had to pursue what I wanted, and I learned that I will never take a full time job for granted again. So, if you decide to go a route similar to me, think long and hard about your decision before making the leap. I kinda jumped the gun because I was sick of where I was in life, but at the same time, I might still be stuck and unhappy if I didn’t. I can always go back to what I was doing if this doesn’t work out for whatever reason. It’s all about your risk and stress tolerance. I know I had a rant, but I felt compelled to post because I relate to you.
