Do You Find That The Career You Have Chosen No Longer Appeals To You?

January 2, 2010 – 10:53 pm

I’ve been in my career for 20 years and have always enjoyed what I did, but know I find that the whole field I work in no longer appeals to me. I wish I had gotten a degree in a total different field. Anyone else?

  2. I worked in the Transportation Field for a while, I realized I hated it. Now I am seeking a degree in Psychology. I have a semester to go. Yahoo Answers has not only been a kick, but has been a help in finding out what makes some of us tick.
    Good luck in you future endeavors.

  3. Unfortunately, I have the same problem and am online looking for positions right now. I don’t have a degree in anything but started going to college three years ago. It seems as if I’ll never find anything else I’m qualified for, very depressing.

  4. 20 yrs is along time to be in the same career..ive been in the same career 6 months and im bored.
    yes ive often felt this as well and img lad to know that there r ppl like me..what worries me most is that i cnt keep switching jobs/fields coz i will never be a specialist at one thing.
    i think ill start my own bus.i can do what i want and whenever i want.i don’t like routine jobs.

  5. Yes. I got my degree in education and after that decided I didn’t really want to teach anymore. Now I regret not going for something else or doing a dual major.

  8. I believe that’s only a normal feeling because you’ve been at your job for 20 years. I get bored with work real easy… less than a year and I want to do something else. But it’s going to be like that wherever you are… it’s just the repetition of the job I think that makes it unbearable.

  9. Yeah I studied 4 years in college just to find out that I really didn’t like it after only 6 months work. I really want to be a teacher, unfortunately I still have a huge debt for those years in college and I don’t want to add to it. Yeah I wish I had chosen to be a teacher, then I wouldn’t have to go through an extra 3-4 years on school again.

  10. YES !!!! Also, I want people who reside in the North-East region (PA/DE/Westborough/etc) to know: DO NOT WORK FOR PFPC Global Investment Services,….DO NOT FALL for any of their recruiting ploys. They waaaaay underpay you, waaaaay overwork you, and most of their lower managements don’t have a clue on how to run a department….no people-skill whatsoever (especially the ones in Delaware)….I know because I used to work for them.
