"I Have a Good Job. Why Do I Keep Thinking About Doing Something Else?"

from Macro Social Work Your Way™ with Marthea Pitts, MSW · host Marthea Pitts, MSW

Have you ever caught yourself thinking about doing something different even though your job is stable, your paycheck is good, and everyone around you thinks you've "made it"?If so, you're not alone.In this episode, I answer a question I was recently asked in private:"I have a good job. Why do I keep thinking about something else?"I share three reasons why this happens more often than people realize, including why increased career awareness can change the way you think about your future, what I call the mid-career awakening, and why your interests, priorities, and goals naturally evolve over time.This conversation isn't about convincing you to quit your job. It's about helping you better understand why these thoughts show up and how to think about them before making your next career decision.If you've ever felt guilty for wanting something different even though your current job looks great on paper, this episode is for you.What career question have you been thinking about but haven't had anyone qualified to ask? Leave it in the comments. Your question may become a future episode.Connect with me on Instagram: @the_mswcoachLearn more: macroandpaid.com
