Jaded!

Have you ever had that feeling that your current job no longer gives you the satisfaction it used to and you want to do s'thing else? I bet you have!

I was with a friend last nite(Whom I shall call Y) and Y said she was "JADED" in her current job. She's fed-up w her job and is contemplating a new line altogether. Mind you, Y has reached the top of her profession and is now willing to start from the very bottom in a new job! She has even applied and gone for interviews for company secretaries and even a kindergarten teacher! I think this takes immense courage. To be the boss for so long and then to suddenly be at the other end of the spectrum is definitely a big change. Naturally, the main stumbling block here is the salary offered. Y is willing to take a huge cut from her current salary. I think she's about 29(Y, don kill me if I got yr age wrong) and married. Good luck Y!

I have been in that position b4 about 12 yrs back where I just turned my back on accounting and decided to do s'thing that did not require me to sit down for 8 hrs looking at a PC. But I cld do that as I was young and did not have much commitments.

I know many in the same boat who are just unable to take this drastic step mainly due to financial commitments and the fear of not able to find jobs b'cos of their ages. So they continue slogging along not enjoying what they do. It is such a pity b'cos we always hear sayings like Life is Short, Enjoy Life etc. Well, I guess we just have to make do, I suppose.
