Is what you do professionally now, what you wanted to do when you were growing up? Is what you are doing a just a job or your career? Or are you still deciding what you want to do when you grow up?
At 64 I am still trying to figure out what I want to be. I've been a funeral director, mass fatality responder for FEMA , a Radio shack employee. Now I'm a employment specialist for the AARP Foundation. I am still looking, but the idea I had at first was to teach history and I am glad that didn't work out, I wouldn't want to be in a school now.
I'm currently an inventory coordinator and a cashier in a grocery store. I wanted, and still want, to be a book editor. Pretty lofty goals. I doubt I'll get there.
@MarvelAnn I don't have the motivation to anymore. Check my page. I've been dealing with depression. Severe depression. I just don't care anymore. I'm about to leave for work right now and I don't want to. Not because I don't want to work or don't like the job. I love the job and the people but wonder why I'm fighting to survive. What's the point? I have nothing to live for but my cat.
When I was a teenager my father had a Catholic Priest friend. He often came over our house and "hung out" with my father. When I was in my senior year in high school the Priest started asking me if I wanted to be a Priest. He guaranteed that he had the "pull" to get me admited to a Seminary. I was very interested in sex and believed that Priests are celibate, so I always said "NO" Now that I am older and wiser I wonder if I might have passed up a good job. Just work on Sundays....and to hell with that celibate rule.
