In college I decided to major in Film. Making and editing movies had been something I'd loved doing in high school, and seemed like a good fit for someone as unmotivated as me. I wouldn't say I thrived, or even loved it, but I passed. Right after graduation I landed an amazing job working at a production studio in my hometown. I worked hard, absorbed as much information as I could, and took the initiative whenever opportunities appeared. I worked my way up the ladder, and after 3 years, I was a staff editor, working on nationally broadcasted television. I liked my job, I liked the company I worked for. But after awhile I got tired of working 8 hour days in front of a computer, while the world seemed to be racing by me outside. I was only looking forward to weekends and the few days a year I could turn into vacations. So I made a risky move, and quit my job to travel the world. I spent the last year traveling New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and parts of Europe. It was the best year of my life. I made it my goal to step outside of my comfort zone and scare the shit out of myself. It took me awhile to find my grove, but I feel like I grew more as a person in the last year than many of the years before.
Now I'm home and I'm beginning my job search. My first inclination is to return to the field where I invested 6 years of my life cultivating my skills (including 2 freelance jobs while I was abroad). I figure it's where I am most likely to land a job and where I will probably make the most money. But deep in the pit of my heart, I know that I don't really want to do that. I enjoy it to the fullest when I can exercise creative freedom. But most companies I've worked with/for harness that creativity to meet the requirements of other companies, networks, or whoever is paying the bill. And the main reason I walked away was because I didn't enjoy how stationary the job was. All my hours, hunched over a desk in front of a computer; it works for some people, but not really for me.
The idea of starting over is both appealing and terrifying. With my work history I have no idea what kind of different jobs I would qualify for. I don't even know where to start looking. And that's probably because I don't even know what I want to do. I'm exhausted looking at sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, etc., and not hearing anything back. I'm wondering if anyone has any similar experiences? Anyone know of a good resource for a 30-year old who just wants to start from scratch? Or should I stick with what I know I'm good at, and continue down the career path I'm on?
