Background: I've been unhappy for a while in my job. I've been unhappy in my career for quite some time...then I'd switch to a new job and there would be a brief period where I'd be happier, but in the end, this just isn't the right place for me and I've known it for a while.

Everyone says to follow your passion...but I could never figure out what my passions were and HOW I could turn them into anything remotely resembling a career.

Last night I was talking to my sister and had an Epiphany!!! I think I've found my calling...and I'm SO fired up about it.

Please, please send some of the famous BBB mojo my way if you can. I need it to figure out how to build a plan and truly make this a career option for me. I'm super excited, and a lot nervous, and scared....but I think I have a good thing here.

FWIW...being on these boards has really helped shed light on my passion! :) So thank you to all the wonderful people who have shared, inspired, commisserated, and advised me along the way. You guys are AWESOME!

:cheerleader1:Mojo, mojo, mojo.:cheerleader1:

I'm doing the same thing. Never liked my job, but I was good at it and kept getting promoted. I stopped working when DS was born to escape from it. I'm now back in school for what I want to do. If things don't work out for DH to get a new job, I may need to go back to my old job - but it will be temporary.

So, I would say, don't burn bridge when you do move on. Keep the contacts as a back-up plan if things change unexpectedly.
