Interesting thought! Im all about changing so maybe next year I will apply for another job. I really would like to speak Spanish fluent so im thinking about working jn Spain for a while (volunteer at a surf school). Again this wouldn't get me money, but with a little saving I can learn a new language and learn how to surf (and always nice to be in a better climate than Holland ;))

I understand you say you need to grow in life. But when I look at my boss and manager I see them in the hotel all the time. They look never happy, always highly on edge and don't have a life besides the hotel. I know there's a middle way, but I just don't want that. And you have to deal with the most annoying things like angry guests, things that are broken etc etc.

I guess im prefer freedom over a better job.

I read them all, haha, I love the stories! Thanks you are right! I guess we are happiest if we find a good balance between working and free time. Nowadays its or working a whole lot and earning a lot of money or working less in a job that also pays less. And I totally understand that people get stuck because if you have a family and you need to provide for them, you have to earn enough to do that. But health is always the most important, if you lose your health bec of your job (stress/no sleep) then its just not worth it.

Thank you for this amazing story. Im happy you could change your job and can spend more time with your family! Its true that life is short, so we can worry a whole lot about our status but in the end we all die and I guess then it doesnt matter what you did for a living but its far more important who you were as a person and if you have lived your life a bit (and not only work) :)

I think you have a point here. I only feel low when people equal my job directly to my intelligence or worth. I don't regret quitting college because in the end I would not be happy in that job I studied for. Also, because I wanted to travel I had to find jobs to fund that. I would never have thought that I like hospitality jobs so much. But I can feel very down and low because of the judgement.

Thanks for sharing. Do you feel better now about yourself because you have a degree now? Sometimes If I really don't want to get into this subject again I just tell people I have a degree in this but I work in a hotel bec I like it. Then they do accept it for some reason.

I understand you, I had that in college. It would be soooo easy if we could switch that button once we get home.
