Well, I have been working in social services. I got into it for the right motivation, but discovered it ain't no Lifetime movie. My last day on the job is Friday. Just too draining and depressing working with some of these cases. I thought this line of work would bring some meaning to my life and like I was making a difference, but it's really just given me a jaded perspective on humanity. Oh sure, some of the situations have been somewhat rewarding, but the overall theme has been so depressing that any gains were wiped out. Then to work for an agency whose #1 priority is billable hours, and here I sit at home on a Sunday morning typing up billable hour notes. Even though my last day is Friday, I still want to do my best until I am gone, but I am not sure I am going to meet the numbers - again.
I have no idea where I'll go from here, but I would not mind being independently wealthy at this point.
