So I have come across a bit of a crisis in my professional life after realising I don't want to be a teacher. Choosing a new career is making me wonder how ambitious I really am. When I was a teenager I thought I would become this career driven woman but I'm not sure if that is what I still want today...
Right now I have a job that is "beneath me" considering my degree and while I am still looking for jobs that are more connected to my field of study I wonder if it is really worth it. I have so much more free time now, no stress and can live well with the salary I receive. I do get embarrassed when people ask me what I do bc I'm 'just' a receptionist but should I care???
I am considering going back to school for a year but at the same time I struggle with this 'aiming for the stars' bullshit I have been fed my whole life and want to be content with what I have. So the question is should I aim higher professionally or should I not care so much about my job since there is more to life than getting stuck in the rat race?
Some background info: - MA degree (languages) - loved first job in a theatre company but due to lack of funding in the sector it was not possible to stay on full time. - switched to teaching in high school - left teaching (a month ago) - working an admin job that does not require a degree but it pays pretty well.
