Hey everyone, I'm really struggling with a major life decision and could use some advice! 😔 I'm currently working as a software engineer making six figures, but honestly? I wake up every morning dreading going to work. My real passion is graphic design - I've been doing freelance projects on weekends and absolutely love it! 🎨 The problem is, my design work only brings in about 40% of my current salary. I have student loans, rent, and my family depends on my income. But I'm miserable and feel like I'm wasting my creative potential. ⚡ Has anyone else faced this passion vs. paycheck dilemma? How did you decide what mattered most? I'm torn between financial security and personal fulfillment, and I really need some perspective from people who've been there! 🙏 #JobCareer #Career #CareerAdvice
