I know, easier said than done right? But I'm sure you'll figure something out. My goal is to get a bachelor's degree then go teach English in Japan. then when I'm ready, I can work towards an MA in mental health counselling and after that get certified as a hypnotherapist. But that goal took me years to formulate in my head. I realize it could take you a while to figure out what you wanna do. Still, I recommend trying to think of something better to be doing, since you hate your job so much.
I have to polish up my resume and then I'm going to start looking for other jobs. My exit strategy is really just leaving this company. I don't really foresee myself going down a different career path. I have this job to provide me with money and then I do what I really care about, music. And even then I get paid peanuts for what I do. My main issue is that it seems like it's almost impossible to work part time and not be in poverty while pursuing something else. While I'd love to have music be my full time thing, I just really don't see it happening. But ever since I've started LTU that has gained front and center focus in my life and everything else has faded into the background. So maybe I'm still just battling with fears because it's a less traditional path. My frustrations are largely rooted in needing to have creativity be a part of my life and not knowing how to get there. I can't really do "normal" jobs, they make me feel like I'm suffocating. This has pretty much been my plight for most of my life, I don't fit into the very typical lifestyles most people pursue.
