currently stuck in a career I’m not happy in. Would love to find something I love and leave the corporate world for good.

If you love your job what is it that you do?

I'm in corporate (tech) so not much help 😂

But I used to work as a manager in a retail warehouse and was surprised at how many people quit the corporate world and joined on minimum wage. Some of it takes getting used to (micromanaging/treated like an idiot sometimes/customers!) but I found a few stuck around and actually enjoyed the novelty of moving around/not being stuck behind a desk.

I'm a teacher.

Sometimes it drives me crazy but I love it and, on days like today especially, I can't imagine ever wanting to do anything else.
