I'm thinking of making a complete career overhaul. I used to love my job as the Nutritional Services Director of a nursing home, but any more, I can't stand all of the paperwork, the mediocre pay, and most of all, all of the politics in our organization. I desperately want to make a change, but I have no idea as to what it is. I worked in a factory for 9 years, applying finish to wooden boxes, trophies etc. And I've done my current job for 10 years. I wish a bolt of light would hit me, and I would know which path to take. ;d My "bolt of light" hit me when I worked in the group home and realized I wanted to be a psychologist who saw clients weekly and worked with them intensively on life problems rather than a psychiatrist who saw clients once every few months at best for a superficial check of meds...it was the greatest feeling to know so strongly that this was really what I wanted to do! That's when I decided not to go to medical school and become a clinical psychologist instead. Looking back on it, I think med school would have been a terrible fit for me, and I think my decision was probably the best I've ever made...just having the courage to step outside of my current situation and try new activities or jobs that I was more interested in really saved me from a job I would have hated!
