So, I graduated with my master’s degree in recreation management in December of 2021. I truly love the field of recreation, but I cannot get myself to accept the fact that I’ll be working 40 hours a week the rest of my adult life. I would LOVE to work remotely, but the field of recreation is not very remote-work friendly.
I have applied for other remote jobs that I qualify for, but 99% of the time I just don’t hear back or get discouraged from applying when I see that a posting has received 400 applications in 2 days on LinkedIn.
Right now, I’m working full-time as a Volunteer Coordinator for a non-profit. It’s not a bad job, but I’m getting paid 45k a year (which I negotiated) while having a master’s degree. I just feel lost. I don’t know where to go next. I feel like no matter what job I have, I’m just not going to have motivation to do it.
Any kind words of advice would be appreciated, especially if you have experienced the same feelings as me!
Thank you fellow work-haters.
