Is it okay to not be career driven anymore?
I know the Internet is not probably a good place for advice but still.
I’m in my late twenties, I have a job which gives me freedom and 0 anxiety. Do I like it? Meh, but I don’t really dislike it either, it’s ok I guess and I basically have every afternoon free.
During uni, I had really bad anxiety because of the academic pressure. My hair was falling, I wasn’t sleeping well, 0 time for social relationships, sports, hobbies. With this job, I have rediscovered all these stuff.
I’m worried I’m not career driven anymore, everyone keeps telling me I should change jobs if I don’t really like it. But Idk I don’t have a passion or a dream job rn, my only goal in life was to study enough to get a job and I did that. I feel like I don’t wanna lose myself again in a job just for the sake of it.
I lost my dad when I was young and I know how important it really is to spend time with the people you love and doing the things you like (which for me is everything outside work)
At the same time I’m worried I might regret this in the future, should I search for a better and more fulfilling job? What if I don’t really like it and it doesn’t give the freedom I really want?
Is it okay not to be career driven anymore? Is it okay to “settle” for a normal job or I should search for my dream job?
Pls help me🥺
