I’ve hit a bit of a rough patch in my life. We all go through it, so I’m not looking for sympathy. However, I am looking for a bit of advice. I recently changed my career from a traveling vacuum salesman to working as a phone rep for a company. Not exactly ideal, but my reasoning for it was simple: I will be 26 in a few months, and I had no sense of a home.
There are a few things that led to this feeling. One such item is the fact that I was home about 8 days out of the month. That was if we were not working all month, or as long as we were not trying to play catch up for time off we had. Also, it was basically a new city or town every week, so I never felt centralized. The worst part of my old career was the fact that I had no real social interaction. Being a salesman, I had interaction with people, but it was strictly professional. I could have had more debaucheries on the road, but I chose to keep myself as professional as I could. What bugged me was how many relationships seemed to dwindle or didn’t even take place at all because of my schedule.
So, I start a local job working the phones, and four months in, I am completely miserable. A part of me misses what I was doing, but I think I can attribute the feeling due to the fact that I did it for over two years. It was probably the biggest turning point in my life and I am grateful for everything that it led to because I have matured more in those two years than at any point in my life.
I sit here tonight on my computer pondering what’s next for me. There are several things I can do. I can go from job to job, until I find something that sticks. I can keep doing what I’m doing until a better opportunity arises. I can go back to my old career in sales. It really is too much to process.
I am realistic in that I know there are few people who enjoy what they do, and I know that even fewer people make a decent living doing what they love, but I have to ask: Why not me? Sure, it’s selfish, but I really feel like I have spent most of my years being unselfish and thinking that the universe was going to balance itself and everything would fall into place. I realize how naive I was. It is time for me to make things happen for me. The problem I am running into is the fact that I am barely making it now, so I can’t just up and leave everything behind. I need to plan my next few steps carefully, but I really don’t have any room for error.
