Degree educated but won't go for managerial jobs

[MiaMarshmallows]

Anyone else know someone like this? This person is a family member. None of my business I know but I do wonder.
She is degree educated, has health issues and made redundant from a job she had been in for years (Well below her skill set but she loved it.)
Just feel she is really doing herself a disservice and feels like it's lack of confidence more than anything.

This thread has actually made me feel better about my job, which is not a managerial one, but more the ‘bread and butter’ work in my particular sector. It’s very competitive and I was so pleased to be offered the job I have - I’m good at it and I really enjoy it! Admittedly it would be lovely to earn more but it’s only now (at 35!) that I’ve realised I’m happy with this work and that managing people/money/projects wouldn’t make me happy and there’s nothing wrong with that. My personality is suited to what I do - I would feel painfully uncomfortable managing people, I don’t like conflict and find it really awkward to delegate work to people in case they object/disagree with the work (I’ve done this in a previous role in a small capacity with volunteers).

She may be perfectly happy doing what she enjoys. Not everyone wants to be a manager or in a senior position at work. Perhaps she just wants to go to work, get paid and not worry about everything that comes with a more senior position.

You are coming across as very invested in her life. Why not just concentrate on yourself and mind your own business.
