I just started a full time job this week after being unemployed for 6 months due to my previous contract ending. I’m 24, in a new field as I needed job security and better pay, but three days in and I’m already miserable. I wake up at 6:30, leave for work at 7:20, arrive and start at 8:30, have lunch at 1:00 and I’m stuck there until 5:30. I then drive home and only get back at around 6:20 because of traffic and have to go to bed by 10:30 and I can’t help but think is this it? Is this what my future holds? Sacrificing all of my day for a “career” just to get home, have no energy, go to bed a few hours later, rinse and repeat. I’m feeling so jaded already and I don’t know how I’m going to do this for the next 40 years.
