    Dear Tom

    What were your parents & teachers expectations regarding your job/career?

    We often do what is expected of us by others and then feel unsatisfied with that part of your life.

    Maybe it is time to ask yourself what kind of work would bring you joy even if it is not as prestigious or highly paid as your present situation. What does money represent to you? Is a career important to you & is it tied to your self-worth? Do you & your partner have the same outlook when it comes to work life balance? Would they be supportive if you wanted to retrain in a different career or earn less in an occupation that would be more fulfilling?

    It takes a lot to be able to stop the unhappiness at work from leeching into homelife.

    My partner is supportive, we both have a similar outlook and want to enjoy life without working until we are 85.

    I believe she would support me in finding something else regardless of whether it was lower/high paid. My parents don’t have any real expectation on my career and it’s not something they get involved in.

    Dear Tom

    I am glad that you felt no pressure of meeting   others expectations about your work choices.

    I hope that you find a job that brings you a sense of fulfillment.
