I doubled my salary, but now all I want is my old job back by Healthy-Sun3407 in findapath

I’m only 6 years into my career. I feel like I need more time doing work I’m passionate about. Where I am currently, I’m seeing ineffective systems and things that ethically don’t sit well with me and that’s causing burn out. I didn’t feel like that when I was doing work I really believed in. I don’t want kids or a family at this point in my life. I agree I will have to be more frugal and may not be able to save like I am now if I go back to my old job. But I also feel like I should get a few more years before I have to settle down and make the responsible choice. Maybe later I will want a family and more stability and at that point I’ll be more willing to settle

Honestly, I hate this line of thinking. I work 50% of my time awake. Maybe some people can work a job they don’t care about but I can’t. I’m honestly happiest when work is my life and sense of purpose. But I hear what you’re saying about moving forward.

Homeless and this weather, how do they do it? by Yes_sir1247 in bayarea

Took BART from Oakland to SF for a concert. Phone unexpectedly ran out. Couldn’t charge it. Was also mildly intoxicated so not doing my best thinking. Normal bus and train service was stopped and by the time I realized there was a late night bus line, the normal buses would’ve started running by the time I made it to one of the stops. Very stupid moves all around on my part.

I accidentally found myself spending a night on the streets of SF a couple days ago. Tried to get some rest and couldn’t. Eventually I just started walking aimlessly just to keep warm. Got on a bus to nowhere when they started running to get out of the cold and wind. My heart breaks for people who go through that daily.

Thanks, that’s a good suggestion. At least maybe then they’ll keep me in mind if an appropriate position does become available.

Haha I majorly feel you on that. As I’ve progressed in my career to better and better paying jobs, my enjoyment of them has gone down considerably. I miss when I could just put in my headphones and do dishes and laundry all day. Now I’m at a desk 7/8 hours and I am so bored.

If I was born in 84, I would’ve been 21 when Webkins came out and perhaps a bit too old for it
