Why Millennials Want To Die!

I am fortunate to have a degree and not have student debt, but faced with the prospect of working in a field I do not enjoy vs one that aids my passions, I have to try to change careers in my late 20s or I am going to be miserable for the rest of my life.

I found my passion after I graduated and I feel like I wasted years working in my current field, too scared to do anything about it. “Stay in your job”, “you’re lucky to have a job”, while I am drowning in existential dread that my life will be spent using the best part of the day on something I really don’t give a shit about.

But now I get it. I am going to be working for the rest of my life. And so for me it’s either change careers to something you can do, or be miserable forever. This is a life or death decision.

I am fortunate to even be in a position to attempt to change careers but I have to do it. If I fail, there will be no meaning for my life. I might as well be dead. So do not fucking fail. This is it. Do not fail.
