To move or not to move. That is... well ya know.
I have a job with a great company. Well, the benefits are great anyway. Our health insurance is paid (completely) and we get one Friday off each month in addition to all the other vacation, holidays, etc. I just don't feel like I belong here. I've been in several corporate jobs and always after about 4 or 5 years, I get really frustrated and want to find something new. In the past I've done that. Trouble is that I've just moved to another corporate job and I'm now deciding that maybe the corporate world just isn't for me. I did nails for 5 years right out of highschool and I remember loving that job. At the time it was very lucrative, but with an influx of salons in the last 10 years, I don't think that's the case any longer.
So, I'm thinking that something where I can be a bit more "free" is a better fit for me. I'm very right-brained but never really honed any artistic skills. (Well, other than the 10 yrs of voice lessons and a trip to Italy last summer to study painting) So what do I do? I could go back to school and finish up with my efforts in getting a teaching certificate in Elementary Ed. or I've thought about dog grooming, but I just don't know. With the extra "perks" at my current job, I'm really making a decent salary and it's hard to just give that up without a real goal in mind, but I'm afraid I've waited too long already and I'm going to pull out my hair if something doesn't change soon.
Are there career counselors out there that I'm not aware of? Some that are maybe not associated with a college? I know that you can visit a counselor at school when you're enrolled, but I can't seem to locate an independant career counselor that can help with the decisions that I'm trying to make. I have a couple of books to read. I guess I'll start there and see where that takes me.
I really believe that it's okay to be unhappy in a good situation if that situation isn't necessairly good for you.
So do I move or not move?
