A lot of chaos.
Well, my question is, how can I find my passion and turn it into a career while also supporting my family and my six-month-old baby?
Just, uh, I've just realized that I keep finding dead end jobs, meaningless jobs that I just, I want to find something that I could possibly enjoy doing, you know, for the next 30 years. and also being able to be home and provide for my family.
Um, yes and no. Um, I think to, to dig a little deeper, I think, uh, basically growing up. Um, so my, essentially my, uh, My parents moved over here to the United States from another country. And growing up myself, I kind of was limited, if that makes any sense, to certain things growing up as a child, you know. And I kind of... How can I say it?
I kind of envisioned a lot of closed doors in front of me. And once the opportunity came where, you know, those doors opened up slightly, I... You know, started thinking, okay, what's something that I could probably enjoy or do? I pursued it. Ended up not, I guess, choosing the wrong thing. Basically jumping around from job to job. I changed careers multiple times.
I'm at one now where I'm just realizing that it's probably not going to be for me. It does pay well, but it's not something I see myself doing long term.
I don't know, honestly. I feel like I'm stuck.
Yes, Sam.
I think one of the things that stuck out when I was with this job is it's very physically demanding. And that's one of the reasons why I know it's something I can't do long term just because I'm slightly starting to feel it on my body and I don't want to be hurting in the long run. Okay.
I was going pretty frequently. Once the baby was born, that changed things a little bit. Sure. And I just got to the point where I felt like I was overworking my body with going to the gym and also my job. It just became too much, I think, physically. So...
I do, yes. I have an amazing wife.
No, I think you're, I think you're pretty spot on.
Um, no, not necessarily. I just, I think growing up, uh, I never had any form of guidance, I guess you'd say.
I was just kind of figuring life out as I went along.
Yeah.
It's tough.
I work in beverage, delivering beverages to stores, restaurants.
Groceries, and yeah, so it's basically breaking down pallets worth of product and moving it along as I go. Okay. It's very physically demanding.
