Basically, the situation is I'm 46, make approx. 100K a year at work that has always been a struggle for me just in terms of raw ability (if I'm going to be honest). I went down this career path because I couldn't think of anything really compelling, and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I don't have any better ideas as to what to do to support myself, but I do know that doing this type of work, year after year, is degrading my sense of myself as a capable person who can do quality things and is worthy of respect. It seems like I'm constantly humbled and frustrated. I know I will never really excel at what I'm doing, for various reasons.
Bottom line is I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has similar experiences and how you handle the frustrations of doing work that you are rarely able to excel at and feel good about, and which on the other hand, pays a lot. First world problem for sure.
Thoughts? Thanks.
