I have a masters in social work and work as a school social worker and make good money. Sometimes I think to myself that I wish I could do something else because I don’t know if I want to do this for my entire life but I think that I’m stuck and have to because I have bills and a mortgage and soon want children and I can’t give up 100k a year and great insurance and great benefits and a pension, but when I get in trouble at work or have to deal with a ridiculous boss and feel down about myself I realize that I don’t need to stay there. I can work elsewhere and do something different, however it’ll be with a major pay cut. I can get up, find another job and leave. It feels liberating knowing that but it scares the shit out of me to think about doing it. I’d want a completely different field as well. Anyone ever just walk away from a job like that and do something different and give up a good salary? I wish I had studied film making lol
