I’ve worked in banking for around a year. I thought I’d enjoy the corporate world, I got my BSBA and have all of the qualifications. I quickly realized like many of you on here I cannot see myself for the rest of my life working on someone else’s dream and ruining my own mental health. I made a choice and began fire/emt school. My boss, after hearing about this told HR and they said “there’s a lot of training going into your role and if you will leave we don’t want to waste time”. I went in today after a week off due to covid and got fired due to my schooling. I have a family to support and little money to hold me over after having covid, but I’ll be damned if this doesn’t take a huge weight off my shoulders. I dreaded going to that job each day. To whoever is scared to take the leap, you will find yourself much happier down the line; I promise you. I’m glad we have such a supportive community and I’m so excited we all make a difference.
