Title might sound vague. But after being unemployed for almost 2 years minus a two months stint at a startup from which I was laid off from because the company went under, I feel like I am wasting my life in the same rabbit hole of looking for a job I dont want to do. I have a masters in Marketing and that is proving to be as valuable as holding a carrot. When I got my masters I thought I would be a head and shoulders above the rest of the candidates, boy was I wrong. I have been rejected from at least 5-6 solid roles for which I went to third interviews, case studies, presentations, and while I understand that its my shortcomings or someone else’s experience that ultimately didnt allow me to get the job, I am sick and tired of trying to be this person I dont want to be. I feel like the world is so big and has so many opportunities and I have just honed in one this path which will not make me happy as it doesnt leave any time for me to do the things I want to do and see the places I want to see. I feel my life is holding me back. How do I find the courage to just go and restart my life? I am more than capable of meeting new people and starting my own life somewhere. Has anyone had this type of experience? I am willing to give a lot of things up but I dont want to disappoint my parents. It will be hard im sure, but it can’t be any harder than this on my overall mental health. I feel like if I got a lower end job with a masters currently where I am, I would be a failure, whereas if I went somewhere else, perhaps to another country where I can get visas, it would feel like a restart. A much needed restart. I just want a simple life. I dont want to lose any more time which comes from office roles, and moving up corporate ladders. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
