I’m 24F and I’ve worked at the same company as a data analyst for 3 years out of college (started during COVID). I work from home, which I feel very privileged to be able to do… but the work is not something I’m interested in at all.
People ask me what I do for a living and I can barely answer. I just have no drive to do better in this position other than not letting the rest of my team down.
My passion is way far off from my current position and I’m scared if I don’t do something to chase it now that I never will. I want to become a film produce… with my job-the time it takes to network has been minimal to none to do any passion projects.
I haven’t made enough money to save for me to feel financially secure and to stop what I’m doing to chase my dreams. This is the biggest issue.
With the economy being as it is- I’m terrified to do anything rash. I’m feeling like I’m being put in a corner.
Again, I recognize my privilege in being able to say I have a job that supports my day to day lifestyle and puts a roof over my head. But I can’t help but feel the sense of dread when I look to my future and imagining myself in the same position.
Can anyone relate? Has anyone out there been able to successfully say that they have quit their current jobs to start something they love? Any feedback is welcomed. It makes me so sad seeing people on here having awful work environments and feeling a sense of hopelessness when it comes to their careers.
