I need a new line of work

[jforward]

This is not a happy, healthy life.

...as soon as I even pull into the neighborhood area of my work, my entire body feels instantly depressed. I literally have to force myself to walk towards my work building. There's this completely overpowering feeling to run screaming in the opposite direction, hop into my car and drive off - as far as I can get

You want to get out of what you're doing, but you have no idea what you want to do...you need to discover your passion, make a decision, and go for it. You talk about joining the Air Force - then do it! You talk about going to school to learn lighting and sound - then do it! Quit talking about it and just go do it. Otherwise you'll wake up one day, you'll be 30 years old, and you'll discover that you just pissed away the last 10 years of your life.

I know exactly what you mean! I'm looking at where I'm at right now (and of course, Disenchanted has to be conveniently playing in my head too), and I'm practically near tears at work - I feel like such a dork :P

But I don't know why I'm here. I see the life and career my dad has, and he has zero passion in life. I do NOT want to become that! I'm doing whatever it takes, but I WILL pull myself out of this hell-hole that's trying to keep me in. Life's not worth it unless you're doing something that truly makes you happy.
