I HATE MY JOB.
So you ask, "Why don't you just quit?" Well, right now, I can't. As you already know, my hubby and I decided to immigrate to Canada, so we have to save as much money as possible.
It would be great if life was like a movie and I could just call my boss, quit and live happily ever after. BUT I have to accept the fact that sometimes we have to do things we do not want or like.
It's not like I could quit and work at another place. The thing is I don't like what I do, the career I chose. Although I'm really good at it, I just don't want to work with something I could care less (if you're wondering, I'm a Programmer Analyst). I just like the money I get from it.
I'm just waiting to move to Canada and start over again. And no, I don't think that Canada will solve all my problems. I could easily start over here, but as explained above, I cannot quit my job at this moment.
I just wish I could discover what I want to work with. Sometimes I get really desperate because, well, I'm not getting any younger. I'm 24 and I still don't know what I want to work with. When I was in high school, all my friends already knew what they wanted to do in college. Since I never looooved anything that much, I decided to study what my boyfriend (now my husband) was studying.
Thank God my hubby loves what he does and when we finally move to Canada, we'll stop playing Scrooge McDuck and I'll be able to stop for a while, maybe study again... I know I should be happy to be able to work and have a decent paycheck in a country where millions of people don't have a job, but I just can't.
Right now I feel like my life is on pause. My internet nickname never fit me so good.

Se isso te consola, eu tenho 30 anos e tb não sou fã da carreira que escolhi!
Tb quero mudar, mas não sei pra qual área, já tive várias crises, mas por enquanto nenhuma resposta. Espero que esse panorama mude em breve!
Bjs e boa sorte!
Dear Little Sister,
Como sempre falo... If work was supposed to be fun, it would be called something else... HAHAHA!!!
E dificil encontrar alguem que goste do que eles fazem... Take our Middle Sister for example... She loves what she does, but gets paid NOTHING! (Well, close to nothing anyways).
XOXO
Your Favorite Big Sister
É... bom... eu sou formada em Direito e estou esperando gostar da coisa até hoje. Fiz a faculdade pelo dinheiro, pelas possibilidades de concurso público. Aliás, passei no primeiro que fiz, ainda durante a faculdade, para trabalhar até me formar. Agora, simplesmente odeio o meu trabalho, estou formada, passei na OAB e nem advogar (e, quem sabe, tentar gostar) posso, porque trabalho no Ministério Público. Sabe como é... funcionária pública, estável, ganhando razoavelmente bem... quem é louco de pedir pra sair, né? E ainda tem a história do Canadá. Meu diploma lá não vale absolutamente nada e vou ter que começar do zero (quer dizer, -10, já que tem toda a questão da língua). E, pior ainda, pelo visto, vou fazer Direito lá. De novo. Pelo dinheiro (já viu os salários dos advogados?!). De novo!!! Nem acredito que uma pessoa possa cometer esse mesmo erro duas vezes, mas quando começo a pensar no que mais fazer, cogito tudo, de matemática a psicologia, passando por informática e gastronomia! E resolvo fazer Direito por causa do dinheiro!!! Argh!!! Eu quero ganhar na mega sena (tá, uma bola de cristal já seria bom...). Quem sabe a Justiça lá não seja mais inspiradora, né???
Good luck!

Don't worry,
God is giving a new opportunity for you. get it and transform your life. my tip is, visit a lot of websites from canadian universities and chose a new course.
PS: there are a lot of short courses in Colleges too.
God Bless YOU!
I’ve been feeling the same way as you are for quite a long time now. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who does that and I want to scream loudly so everybody can hear me, but I simply can’t.
I’m also waiting in the line for Canada’s immigration process, that’s why I found your website. I’m also hoping that moving will give me opportunities to change careers so I can live from what I really enjoy doing.
Currently I’m studying a little bit so I can improve my creative skills, but every day I go to work wanting just to study full time...anyway, working is the only chance I have to move, so...there’s no other choice for me. Still hoping that someday, in a short time, things will change!
Se isso te conforma, sou formada em História, com espcialização em Análise de Sistemas e trabalho com documentação de processos!
Tenho 33 anos e ainda não sei o que quero da vida.
Felizmente gosto do que faço mas se pudesse eu optaria por não ter que trabalhar e viver de brisa.
antes de vir para o Canadá trabalhei 2 anos e meio numa empresa em que a única coisa que não odiei foi o salário. Era algo completamente fora da minha área, meus colegas eram uns sacanas e meu chefe pior ainda.
Mas aguentei firme. Meu visto saiu no dia 8 de junho, acho e no dia 11 pedi demissão para sair no dia 15!
Boa sorte, desanima não.
yeah, we have to do things that we hate.
I hate my job as well! But I have 2 more jobs and I don't hate that much!
Live is like that! Sometime we do things for love, other time, for money - I hate it!
Here, in your new live, be prepared to do things that you don't like. We have to look at the future!
cheers
Eu e vc, mesmíssima situação. Todo dia estou nos sites da Toronto University, York, Ryerson...A minha crise já dura mais de um ano. Atualmente trabalho numa área totalmente diferente da que me formei. Tenho 25, mas estou otimista...Chegando lá as coisas acontecem.
