Current Job Dilemma

3 posts in this topic

So my dilemma is this at the moment. 

I've been working as a project manager for 2.5 years in the renewable energy field. During this time, I've been working on spirituality and doing internal contemplation. I have realized that this it not my thing at all. Not in renewable field or any technical field. I've been asking myself in different ways, what I want to do. I even did Leo's life purpose course. I only know in abstract what I'm interested in and I feel stuck.

I've been thinking of quitting my current job, because I feel tired of doing it and it feels mega boring. Thankfully, it is quite relaxing and not really stressful. So on one hand, quitting feels nice so I can take a break from work and reset my mind so I have clarity what to do next, but on another hand, I realize that maybe this feeling of "taking a break" is only a mental thing and I could let myself feel it now instead of telling myself I need to change the environment to feel it. 

One thing that needs to be considered is that my gf is finishing her PhD on autumn 27, and she might want to do a post doctoral degree in another country. That means we might move somewhere together, and I can start from new ground. So maybe I could do this job for one more year to save money. 

I'm quite lost. Help could be nice O.o

@Riccurdo wage slavery sucks, but it is hard to escape, it requires much more then just doing your job, doing a job is easy compared to escaping wage slavery. I have been trying to escape wage slavery for 7 years atleast, tried everything you can think of, dropshipping for a year or so, social media agency, affiliate marketing, building my own brand etc. and it all failed. So don't think you will quit your job and now you just escaped wage slavery, it requires everything from you to escape wage slavery, it is much harder then working a job, if you can't handle the stress of working a job you definitely can't handle the stress of running something on your own.

@Olaf You are right on that. I think I don't mind working for somebody for the moment, if the work itself is meaningful for me. I just don't know what jobs to apply to. That's why I was wondering if quitting and then relaxing a bit could bring up new ideas (or I'm just tricking myself).

Escaping wage slavery is a different thing, and it would be the dream for me.
