Other than being single, I'm in the exact same position as you. I'm pulled between building a career and travelling the world.
I graduated last spring and spent the summer backpacking in Asia before starting a boring desk job. I live with my parents still so I'm saving almost all of my income.
Now I'm seriously considering quitting in six months and heading back to Asia until I figure out what I want to do. My job is terrible, especially since I was effectively lied to about what I'd be doing, but I'm more or less getting paid to do nothing. In six months I'll have enough money to spend a year backpacking across SE Asia, Eastern Europe, South America, wherever.
Or I could just quit now and go find a job I like. I'm honestly not sure what to do.
- jevanish 14y agoLife is too short to do something you hate. Do whatever you need to to find out what you're passionate about. Building a career around that will be 100X more fulfilling. As Steve Jobs said, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
