You're doing the right thing doing jobs that isn't your dream jobs. Me, I just try to live off my husband's pension & budget the monies so I can survive each month without going into welfare or government assistance. Don't give up & good Luck!
Thanks. I struggle with feeling like a failure for being another person not using their college degree. That's why I'm starting my own business. I'm really hoping that I can eventually transition to doing more of that and less work in the survival job. Fingers crossed.
I don't know why you would think you are a failure for not using your college degree.
Hopefully things will work out for you in starting your own business. I remember years ago I worked on a job I absolutely hated and a co-worker, who I also went to high school with, telling me ... Just start your own business. I wanted to punch her. lol Starting your own business is not that easy. If it was then every person in the world would just start their own business, watch the money roll in, and work very little.
You do what you have to do to survive. You are not a failure because you took a job you did not want to take. A lot of people have done that over the years of time.
I think the feeling like a failure comes when I see others my age in careers they have worked for. I'm trying not to compare myself to them, but still. Anyway, my business is a freelance service that I intend to register legally to enjoy the tax breaks and appear more professional. I won't actually have a brick and mortar location so that might make the process slightly easier to start. The hard part will be finding clients.
