More Than This - Really

It's been a while, but I thought today is as good a day as any to jump back on my soapbox. What do I really want to do with my career? That is the question. I truly can't give a straight answer here - all I can say is it has to be more than this. I don't mean to be so negative, but it's like the Seth Meyers Saturday Night Live skit 'Really?' that I heard a clip of this morning. Really? Did I spend 6 years of my life in school to be a glorified customer service rep? Really? I'm almost 34 and I haven't found my talent? Really? My first real job was when I peaked? Really? I've been a manager, but most of the time I was called a 'manager' I managed nothing? Really? Ok - enough whining, but I just know I can do more than this. I bought into some things the president of my company told me and thought, this is it. I'm finally going to make a difference and be happy and it unforutnately didn't unfold the way I had hoped for. If anything, I've learned there's one less person in my company to trust, but I've also learned that it truly is up to me to find what it is I'm looking for. I still have faith I will find it...reallly.
