How do I break free?
To start, I am desperately trying to get out of the food business. I’m turning 30 and have come to realize the business I’ve always disliked working in, is not for me. I have a degree in History but… let’s just say the museum isn’t hiring right now. I also don’t feel intelligent enough to work in any non-food/corporate/history related settings. Idk, I guess it’s a confidence thing. I don’t think I’m unintelligent, I just don’t know how to operate in those settings considering I’ve worked in food since I was 15 years old. I’ve recently reached my wit’s end and need out. I’ve tried all the job search websites but the market is pretty bad. The only jobs I see are in AI which I know nothing about/definitely don’t want to work in. I want to move on with my life, marry my girlfriend and find some stability while also not spending every waking moment thinking about my next shift. I’m starting to get pretty desperate. For context, I am a man living in New Jersey, to far from any major city to commute.
