Hey!
Sorry to hear you are feeling unfulfilled. Personally I don’t think that there is any problem with changing what you do many times, if you are able to. It sounds like you are searching for something you haven’t found yet, and that is a purpose in what you are doing day to day. Work can become unsatisfying when you either reach your potential/learn everything you can in that role. I am/have been having a similar experience with working life, in that I keep working in jobs that I feel are pointless. It has taken me years to realise that I need to work in a job that I feel is making a difference in other peoples lives rather then a cog in a machine that to me feels pointless. I guess it is a case of looking inside yourself and thinking about what you truly need/want in life to make you happy, which is by no means an easy thing to do. Maybe consider what it is you wish to achieve in your career, is it to make lots of money, is it to be the best at what you do? Or are you working in something that you don’t really like that much but feel like you SHOULD be doing, rather then what you truly WANT/ENJOY. If you could be/do anything, what would you say? Dig deep and try to think of what you truly desire, and then believe it is possible. It is cliche, but we do only get one life, and you don’t want to force yourself to stay in a career because it may look bad on paper to change to something else. Keep looking for what you truly want to do, there are no rules to life. I hope this helps 🙂
