I find myself asking this question everyday. I'm nearing 30 and have been unemployed for 3 years. I always had the vision of playing music and working with computers. I ruined the music aspect continually and I don't think i have the passion or motivation to get back into it. When I graduated college with a BS in Tcom Management I wound up getting a job working for sprint doing RF Regulatory work. After a year the company asked if i wanted to do the meat and potato's of cell phone coverage plots, drive testing and testimony. I didn't mind doing Regulatory. I liked my boss and the employees there. When I went back to the main office I hated it. I was forced into a hectic workload with no training or expertise. After the constant meetings about my performance and no pay increase I decided to leave. My cousin works at a large Financial Firm so she helped me get a job there. I worked as a temp-to-hire in customer support. While there I reached out to other departments in hopes of finding a better area of the firm to work in. A couple of departments were interested but with bad timing Customer Support offered me a full time job seconds before another department asked to interview.
I would like to blame everything on someone or something else. Sure, there was some bad timing events. Ultimately, it was entirely my fault. I'm now trying to find a job making way less working with children but that is hard to find in my area. Jobs that i could see myself remotely enjoying are few and far... I"m hoping I can think up some Internet model to make money. Unfortunately, my mind isn't suited for such great and "simple" ideas as we have today. I can only hope something will pop into my head or some job will open up.
I find myself somewhere between content and melancholy. Ho-hum.
My idea job would be to find some rich woman...
