Career Mid Life Crisis

Recently, I met up with some former classmates/school mates and realised we had something in common - we're all fed up of our jobs.

Despite that we come from different industries such as engineering, accounting and computing, we feel exactly the same. We are tired, sick, frustrated, demotivated and disappointed with our jobs. The jobs just turn into a day in day out routine. We no longer opt for any goal in our career. We all look for another industry for refuge....at least we attempt to get out of our current field of expertise. We are sick of being pushed around in the company with all the pressure from the management and the customers. Some of us just hold on to our jobs just for the sake of having a stable income. The word passion is no longer in our dictionary for the field we are in.

Perhaps we are tired of being in the industry for over 10 years with no accomplishment? Are our careers fated to be doomed? How are we going to move on?

Feel free to discuss it.
