TAKEN FOR GRANTED

A refrain has been echoing in my head. 

"To be, or not to be, that is the question: 
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer 
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, 
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles 
And by opposing end them."

Of course Hamlet was contemplating suicide and I am merely contemplating a change in career. A change in career is life altering. One might even say life ending. To be honest, it feels almost like giving up. 
A change of career this late in the game is actually quite terrifying. I don't know if my experience counts for anything. I am certain my degree doesn't count for much. The current situation is insane. 
However, it is at this point, that personal well-being should be taken into consideration. I need to figure out what makes me happy. I need to know what my aspirations are before I can achieve them. 
So now I have taken the plunge and resigned. During the exit interview, I realised that perhaps I did not fight hard enough to make things the way I wanted. That's my lesson learnt. 

And now to confront my long time fear. Am I good enough for the job market?

Just Me!
