Quiet career life vs. skyrocketing to fame

Post Reply New Topic

I've always been ambitious, but lately, I've been hating my job, too stressed out, hate my boss because she's really mean to me, and I feel like I'd be much happier in a quiet, simple-minded desk job.....just away from people....I don't seem to feel the need to be famous or SUPER successful in a high-powered job....I just want to be left alone....does anyone feel this way??

<--- Wouldn't mind being super successful, but would also love to be left alone. Is this even possible?

I also just want to be left alone. I stick to entry level jobs where not a lot is expected of me and I know I can just do the work (which is usually repetitive) and then go home. There is no need to use initiative, creative skills or too high a level of interpersonal skills. I'm happy like that. I like to save my mental energy for my own interests and family.

I want and previously had a quiet career life. But now being unemployed, all the requirements in my job search i have seen for someone with my years of experience expect you to be in a leadership or management role, which i am incapable of doing.

I choose the fame... I'm not really the quiet type.
