I recently graduated from my master's degree, after having been out of school about 15 years. I did very well and loved what I learned. I am currently still at the job I've been with almost 11 years. I've been at the same company for 18. Work has been very weird lately and I am feeling a bit more ready to make a change. As I've looked for jobs in the field, the problem is that they require experience. I only have the little bit I gained through school and a little volunteer work. I wonder how I will make a change to a new career. I totally felt I was following God when I started this new career journey but it sure didn't go as smoothly as I expected. For example, I didn't graduate with the degree I first started out with but it is pretty close and in the same field. The internship I needed for that degree never came together. Now I almost wish I gotten a degree that I could have immediately started a career with. But at the time, I did what I felt I was being led to do. I still have a passion for the field I studied but I am still at the job I have been at. I AM thankful for it but it has been more stressful lately with threats of layoff that I'm not even sure are valid. The threats came from someone who isn't always honest! Anyway, guess I'm just feeling discouraged.
I also have a desire to write for the encouragement of others. I have a bunch of devotionals written that I'd like to publish but I can't seem to find my way there either. I guess the timing is just not right and one minute I accept that and the next, I try to make it work unsuccessfully!
*sigh* Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
