[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 247503, member: 1485"] Honestly ask yourself: Did I like my job? Or better yet, did I love my job? If you say no, then ask yourself another, honest question: What job would I love to do? I was in your position two years ago. Total gut punch. Had a brand new baby girl that wasn't even a year old, and a son who was just three. Wife had just quit her job and was about to start a new one. I've never felt so low. Like an absolute failure. After about a 15 minute pitty party I started calling people. Literally everyone I could think of. I spent all night updating my resume, and the next morning turned my new job into finding a new job. I applied everywhere. Less than two weeks later, I was hired. It was the longest 12 days of my life, but I stumbled upon a career field I had absolutely no idea I'd ever work in, and I love it. I've been promoted twice and now oversee 11 employees, including sales and install departments, and run the marketing 100 percent. Plus, we just went through a rebranding process and I was a huge part in making it go off without causing our phones to stop ringing! If you'd told me this was my future two years ago that fateful day, I probably would have laughed. All I can say is a little perseverance goes a long way. You'll find something bigger and better. Just don't settle. Don't sell yourself short. Now's a chance to make a change and do something you're really passionate about. You'll find something soon. Keep at it. Some good words to the man upstairs don't hurt, either. [/QUOTE]
