“When I commenced my career, I possessed a deep passion for my work.
Coupled with a generous compensation, there was little distain. However, I frequently found myself being exploited due to my reluctance to decline tasks, fearing potential career repercussions.
So, I embarked on a journey, I relocating to different positions in pursuit of higher pay, ultimately reaching the zenith of my career field.
Paradoxically, the longer I continued in this profession, the more my disdain for it grew. I reached a point where I had acquired not only my own expertise but also shouldered responsibilities that nobody else would undertake simply because of my proficiency.
Despite numerous protests and attempts to assert my self-respect, the lack of motivation of my peers caused the mistreatment to persist, sapping my motivation to persevere.
Engaging in a career rooted in one's own passion can be a double-edged sword, because one's loves and interests evolve over time.
Once ensnared in the quagmire of conformity, the path back becomes increasingly elusive. My advice is to pursue a profession that offers consistency and transferable skills.
When the initial enchantment of your chosen career wanes, those skills can find relevance in other areas of your life.
A job is akin to a relationship; without nurturing, evolution, and continuous growth, the desire to seek new horizons becomes irresistible. You may yearn to broaden your horizons but realize that your significant time and energy investments deter you from making a change.”
