Work

Today I'm in the mood to talk about work. One of the reasons that some people panic about their 30th birthday is that they are having career issues, either

1. They are not where they want to be in their lives, or
2. They don't know what they want to be when they grow up

Whatever causes the crisis work is an important priority for many women. For many of us our work is a fundamental to our identity so if we are insecure or uncomfortable with our work life how can we be comfortable with our age?

If you are considering crisis or feeling stressed take some time to think about your work. Be honest with yourself and consider if the work you are doing is work that you love or hate. Is your job a step on the path to something greater or just another step in the wrong direction?

If you aren't sure consider a book such as

What Should I do with my life? by Po Bronson

I Don't Know what I want, But I Know it's Not This by Julie Jansen

Do What You Are: Discover the Career for You Through the Secrets of Personality Type by Paul D. Teiger & Barbara Barron

Any of these books will help you find some tools for finding the direction for your work life.

Consider some reading material if you have a chance. We'll talk later about how to get a handle on your work desires and prioritize your plan for the future.
