Time for a change?

Despite the fact that I have a Master's Degree, I feel like I am trapped in a dead end job. Wasn't the Master's Degree supposed to help me not end up in a dead end job??? Wasn't I supposed to love my work and fill fulfilled despite the low pay and no thanks??? Wasn't I supposed to have wonderfully unglamorous life of educating the public about history??? Will you know what - even though I get paid more than most, it's not enough and it's too much all at the same time. I'm bored. My job is not creative and I'm not fulfilled. I want to fill like I'm working hard and doing a good job. I want to be tired at the end of the day because I've done good hard work -- not because I've sat behind a desk all day staring at a computer. That is exhausting but not in a fulfilled way.

I want to be creative with fiber and needles. I want to own a yarn store and organize yarn. Now that is fulfilling. I want to make less money but be truly happy to go to work everyday. I think it is time for a change. I just hope I'm brave enough to take the risk.

  2. Thank you. I keep telling myself that I can do it once the credit cards are all paid off and the savings account is up but in reality there is never the right time. It's like having a kid...

  3. If you like to work 60+ hours a week and sometimes not make any take home pay at all, then this is the job for you :)

  4. Woo hoo! I'll be cheering for you from the sidelines! I could've written that post myself, and hope I'll get to follow in your footsteps someday. :)

  5. Please come to Park Hill and open a yarn store. I will be your most often customer. I promise to teach classes, buy yarn and design pattern just for your store. Please come to Park Hill.
