How do I figure out what to do with my professional life? Will I always feel helpless and bored?
I have an analytical mind, but I don’t think I’m overly critical once the honeymoon ends, as my parents suggest. Will I always feel helpless and bored and pointless at work? How can I find something that pays to have a moderate standard of living, that I don’t hate doing and engages me enough that I don’t feel like quitting? I have many decades-long hobbies and friendships, and studied hard for many years, so I know that I’m not “a quitter” by nature, just with work.
If we were getting the same hope to frustration ratio from a person – a friend or a relative – it wouldn’t take us long to think that maybe they’re the problem. But the possibility that workcould be the problem is a little harder to articulate. We don’t want to give up the idea that the thing we spend most of our time doing could be made to feel straightforwardly fulfilling.
That sounds like “there is life after retirement”.. doesn’t make sense to ignore 1/3 day and live the rest. We want to do meaningful things at work too! And it’s a convenient point of view for not questioning/challenging the work power structures.
