[reminder]Do you find a lot of your work meaningless? [/reminder]
If you want to quit your job but don’t know what to do instead, start by choosing one kind of work to investigate. Identify what you want to change, notice work you enjoy, and talk with someone already doing it. You can take those steps while you’re still employed.
Here are three questions to help you begin.
If your paycheck stopped Friday, where would your next dollar come from? I’m not suggesting you quit your job. I’m suggesting the opposite. Keep the job. Keep the paycheck. Keep the benefits. But start building something beside it.
What’s something you’d love to get paid to do, but you keep telling yourself it’s too late, too impractical, or just doesn’t fit the career you’ve built?
Maybe you have the salary. You have the title. People depend on you. And there’s still something you’d like to try, even if you aren’t sure what it is.
