Choosing your career

Oh my goodness, yes! I am a 67 year old, currently retired woman. I have had 3 careers in my life and I'm working on my fourth. Some people, like my daughter, know what they want to do from a young age and pursue it with determination. As for me, I didn't find a career that I really liked until I became a massage therapist in my 40's. That was my third career and I did it happily for 20 years until it became too hard physically. I don't regret doing any of the jobs I have had though. I have had so many interesting experiences and learned so many things in my life. Don't worry, keep looking and you will most likely find what you want to do. In the meantime, you will have an interesting life.

You've only been in your work for 6 months; what could have triggered this feeling of doubts about your chosen career? Could it be that it's the company's way of doing things, or is it about how you do the job in general that's got you thinking? People often change, and that includes their interests and career path. You're lucky if early on you will be able to figure out that this is something you don't see yourself doing for a long time; some people never realize what they want, or it's just too late for them. Change is inevitable, and should you want to shift your focus then do so. But first you have to consider how this shift will affect you especially if you can afford the cost of opportunity which your current job have. Good luck!
