I work at my dream company. When I say I love my job, I am not lying. There is no other company I’d rather work for and I honestly thought I’d never make it here. My plan was to start in my role, go to school and use my degree to move up in the company. That’s what we’re supposed to do right?
The beginning of this year I started to realize something… I started to realize that this is all bullshit. All of it.
I began to feel like I can be more than my corporate job. I began making plans to do work outside of my job. Plans to work for my community and those who are in need.
Ever since making these plans I’ve realized that I don’t care so much about the things that I used to. I don’t care about new office clothes. I don’t care about talking to higher ups and pretending you care about their day so they like you. I don’t care to end up in thousands of dollars in debt so I can be a perfect little corporate worker bee.
I just don’t.
I care about the environment. I care about the housing crisis. I care about the future of this country…. That has nothing to do with the work im doing here.
Obviously, I care to some degree. After all, bills need to be paid and like I mentioned before, I still really like my job. I just know it’s not where im meant to be long term. I will work here until I have the resources to do what I want to do.
