Lately, I feel like my life is just a never-ending to-do list. As a woman working in a research lab in Boston, the idea of grad school used to excite me, but now I just stare at my desk and wonder if I’m missing out on something better. Is it normal to dread your own career path? I keep daydreaming about teaching or nursing—jobs where I can actually move around and interact with people. Teachers get those enviable summer breaks, and nurses have those three-day workweeks (even if the recovery is brutal). But I know both can be stressful in their own ways. Am I just running from one kind of burnout to another? Honestly, I’m desperate for a job with real time off and a life outside of work. Has anyone else made a switch for better balance? What careers actually deliver on that promise? I’d love to hear your stories or advice. 😩✨ #WorkLifeBalance #CareerChange #Burnout #JobCareer
