What Do I Want to Be When I Grow Up?
Here I am, in my 40's, and I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. How does this happen? This has GOT to be one of the major causes of mid-life crisis. I'm so obsessed with my not knowing, that I just want to hop on a plane to anywhere, and run away from it all. If I moved, I could justify a job change. As it stands, I'm not so sure I can justify it. I have a good job. It's secure. I have great benefits. I've got it down, after four years. Got a good team and a supportive boss. So what's the problem? I just don't like it or believe in the major portion of my work. I work in Quality Assurance in clinical trials. First tip off - people generally do not enjoy the process that is quality assurance. I, in turn, do not enjoy being that person people don't want to see coming. Also, I just don't feel like the current processes are benefitting anyone. However, I know what to expect, and I have loads of vacation time saved up. So what do I do?
