I know I'll be lucky to get any kind of decent paying job, but this is killing me. I feel like I'm giving up on my entire career and I'm going to be stuck doing office work for so long that it will end any chance I have of getting back in my field. All I've ever wanted to be is an artist - it's my entire identity. I'm nobody without it. It's really hard not to resent my soon-to-be ex-coworker/boss who doesn't have the passion or the talent I have. Or, thought I had, I guess.
i hear you. i've worked 6yrs in broadcasting on radio, and now since they eliminated the local talent positions at my station, i am stuck being a sales assistant. it's basically a glorified secretary, and since they laid off our receptionist, the sales assistants also get to take turns at the switchboard image. i hate my job and feel like my career is going no where. i know it's just the economy that is holding me back, though. i want to take the next step in my career, but all the types of jobs i should be applying for are not even available right now.
