I am in my 30's and I have worked all types of jobs since I was 13, how do I choose a new career I will love?

Answer 1

You sound like me. I had lots of job some good ones making a lot of money but never felt like i had a career and never stayed happy for long.
Some people say find a hobby that you can make money but that wasn't the case for me see i didn't wear much make up ( loved the skin care) and sales was the last thing I would consider.
When my Mary Kay consultant told me about the opportunity I said no way I was not interested it wasn't for me. When you start having children your priorities change and I need flexibility with an income that i was use to having. I decided what do i have to loose to give it a try so I did. I since quite my full time job with a large financial institution and I am home with my children. I had no idea how much it would change me life. I have the freedom and flexibility I needed and find I am happier and more energetic. I make money while having fun and have met some great people along the way.
If you would have told me 3 years ago this is what i would be doing i would have told you that you were crazy.
So my advice have an open mind and try anything that interest you.
Good luck!

Answer 2

Maybe the problem isn't the careers. Maybe it is you!

I don't mean that as an insult, but perhaps you need to self-reflect and find out what it is that is making you unhappy. You can try career counseling or go back to school, but ultimately the ability to be happy with a career is within you, regardless of the career. If you don't have the right attitude and understanding about what you want in life, no career will make you happy.
