I worked hard to qualify in a new field, despite my age. After years of working in a job and feeling completely undervalued, things are really looking up.
In my old job, I was expected to spin 5,000 plates and be the general dogs body, because everyone is so busy (and I apparently wasn’t 🙄🙄). The only time anything I did would be acknowledged, is if I dropped a plate! All the hours of overtime I did, whilst being the lowest paid, just went completely un noticed.
Well I’m so glad I retrained. I am now working in a new role where my knowledge is valued. Where my salary has increased by half, and where I am not interrupted constantly with more and more demands on me.
I finish work on time. I don’t have to sit on my laptop in the evenings or at the weekends. I actually can’t believe the difference this has on my life.
Sorry if this is a braggy post, but irl, I am downplaying how happy I am, so as not to be that braggy person, but I’m just so happy that my hard work has paid off, and I just needed to share somewhere!
