Sooo... (job related)
For those of you that recently switched jobs....
HOW did you have the courage to do it?
I realized that as Im getting older, the less courage I have to do things. I used to switch jobs all the time- like it was nothing. Now it seems as if everytime I start to think about it, I back out. I know the reason for this too- Im way too comfortable here.
Truth be told. I need more $$. Theres no way on Gods green earth I am getting any more here. I am soooo comfortable here in my position.
This is my dilemma:
I dont know if Im just not ballsy enough to leave here or Im just bored- and I know this "I want a new job" feeling will just pass.
What do I DO???

Change in your life is good. Dont be afraid.
You should explore what you would like to do.....either stay in the same industry or do something different. Go on a few interviews....to get your skills back up. You never know, you might come upon a job that is the "right" one for you!!
Lots of Luck!

I think I am going through the same thing as you. I have been at my job for 6 years and I do like it, however, they are changing my position a little to accomodate the fact that they are understaffed .
Everyday I find myself on careerbuilder looking around.....I too am bored.

Re: Sooo... (job related)
maybe just look around at offers and see what comes up. heck you never know somethng very good might come of it. the feeling of being comfortable is normal and of the not knowing is also normal. so it never hurts to look.

This exactly how I feel as well. I'm bored (I spend half my day surfing the web) and miserable. I really need a career change.

You're still very young...now its the time to explore and find a nest to settle down in permanently. If you're not happy, you're only going to grow more miserable...

don't fear change- change is good
I am on my 3rd job since I graduated from school
each move has been a step up- and had I stayed at my first job and I would not be where I am right now

Re: Sooo... (job related)
I think you need to go for it. I just completely changed industries, and it is actually a really hard really sad decision for me, but I needed the kind of money and security and benefits it might take years to get in theatre, so it was time to move on.
Just GO FOR IT!!!
