Fix it Nix: I’m Stuck in the Wrong Career

Posted on 09 October 2008 by Nicholas Johnson

Dear Nix:

I know I’m in the completely wrong career field.  I do okay with it, get recognized and rewarded.  However, it gets harder and harder every day to work here…my productivity, which has never been great, has slowly deteriorated.  I know I was born to do other things.  I’m afraid my downward trend at work may be an unconscious attempt at self-sabotage.  I could take a stab at other career fields that interest me, but I get compensated well and I have a lot of financial obligations (some credit, mostly student loans).  Plus, who doesn’t like to make some decent scratch?  It would be very difficult for me to jump ship to a career field where I’d probably have to take a 50% or greater pay cut.  What should I do?
