you may have read my previous post regarding the change of terms of an old signed contract, to unfavourable terms. I did not sign the contract and I feel pleased about my decision. However my stress level has increased as I am once again job hunting. My hubby feels I should have signed then resigned when a new position became available but it didn't feel right. I have been in this profession for almost 5yrs and I am yet to find my niche. I am starting to wonder if I chose the right field. I love love love health promotion, but one needs a masters for such a job. I am in the process of gathering info for the masters program.
All I want is a job that I can start on time, leave on time, and make a decent living which having some interest in my duties. It's tough out here, and I don't know what the future holds. My hubby can't understand why I am not like other healthcare professionals that go to work make money and come home, work overtime if needed. I wonder too. Sometimes I envy sales staff as their job doesn't have so much responsibility and their able to have a life. This profession takes everything. Yes there are lot's and I mean lot's of clinical jobs but I have yet to find one that suits me. It's so frustrating. I really thought this last job was it but when the terms of the contract changed and I noticed I had to work overtime. Leaving late to travel home for 2hr. My inability to find a job that suits has affected my marriage, our plans to start a family. All the salaries have been great but I don't enjoy the work so I move over after a few years.
I see business people who are happy and content, why is it sooooooooooo hard to find such an environment in this profession. Somedays I think I'm dreaming and I need a reality check, I need to choose something and stick with it regardless of how I feel. I have spent years working overtime w/o pay, leaving late, not feeling valued. After a while your self-esteem becomes low. Sorry for the long post I just don't know what to do? How can I find an area that suits me, is hiring and doesn't require a masters, with a good work environment. I pray everyday but somedays I feel God is tired of hearing my cries about work and my marriage.
