I have considered changing professions in the past, but i don’t think I could do a switch at this moment.
I don’t think i could easily find a job in a different field and I’m a bit worried that I would get lost and lose energy, even in seemingly simple jobs.
I understand that.
I was just considering that maybe, if you try something different, you might find a surprising amount of satisfaction in it; and be grateful for some change?
There is truth in that.
I actually like the things I do for work though. Or at least I like doing those things by myself for fun.
After having worked in the field for a few years, I noticed my enjoyment seems to have disappeared. Perhaps it’s the hours, or perhaps it’s the way that business can make anything boring. But I just didn’t like doing these things anymore.
And if I don’t like the things I really enjoyed in the past, then it feels like I will surely not like those things i disliked in the past.
I will still try though. But not easy to experiment with new things when you feel like you’re in survival mode all the time.
good luck!
