Not really sure how or where to start. I’ve been in the commercial maintenance field for coming up on 5 years now. Did security (the unfun kind mind you) for about 4 years prior to that. I’m a “building Engineer” in Seattle with some bottom tier licenses. I get paid pretty well for what I do, but I can’t help but feel …. Nothing… For what I do. No sense of fulfillment, nor a sense of ownership over my job. I’ve worked at several buildings which have sold resulting in me being transferred. Employee retention is pretty high for my company.
I want more. I want to contribute to my surroundings, or find a place I can enjoy the work I do (i do like they day-to-day stuff).
But, as I said, as I come up on 32 yrs of age I want to do something that isn’t.. meaningless. Like contribute to a union, or community center. Or shit, even if I helped maintain buildings actually owned by the people who work in them.
But I don’t. And as far as I know, what I’m looking for doesn’t exist.
Soooo… What do I do?
