I started a job at the end of May and I’ve been thinking about quitting everyday
I got certified in something in order to go in different career direction. And then I got scared with everything going on in the country, and I dropped my plans I loved and took a “safe” job in the field I was trying to leave. So now I’m miserable everyday. Literally force myself to not quit everyday. I want to get back to my new field that I put a lot of time and money into becoming certified. But I still feel scared. And now that I took the job I feel like an asshole quitting so soon. I’m 55. Is it dumb to quit a perfectly good and good paying job - no matter how tedious and annoying and draining and unfulfilling it is? The cost of the certification - courses, test registration, etc - was probably $5,000. My spouse is disappointed that I gave up on my new path and encourages me to quit. I’m genuinely torn. Thoughts?
