Job security.

Tweet

There is no such thing as real job security these days. In so many states you can get fired for any stupid reason or because they just feel you aren't right for the company anymore. I myself have been with my job for almost 10 years. When I first started at such a young age I didn't plan to stay there too long. I planned on going to school and getting an actual career job that I would be happy and successful at. Didn't quite work out the way I planned. My job can be quite stressful at times. I often think of quitting and trying to find another job. My pay is pretty good, so I deal with the stressfulness of it until I can get a job that I know I might be happier at. I am in no way knocking my company. It has been great for the most part and I have been able to afford what I have needed to along with my husband's income. I guess my real question is weather or not you have stayed at your job because you were afraid of the unknown and afraid of downgrading your pay? I think that has been my main thing. I also only have an AA for my college degree and at this point in time, going back to college is not fee sable, especially with my active 2 year old not in daycare or school yet. We only get one life and sometimes I am afraid I am wasting a majority of it stressing myself out and feeling miserable. My passion is writing, but I know that unless you know the right people, are very creative and get extremely lucky, it's not very profitable and can be a dead end job. I do hope something changes or I get the courage to look elsewhere. I know my current job is not my be all or end all job. I also do not want to end up jobless either with all the responsibilities I have. Can I stop being an adult for a while? Thank you for listening. Good evening!
