Ok, maybe crisis is a little strong, but I feel so burnt out from work. On paper, everything looks good, remote, get paid well, benefits, etc., but the work itself is just not enjoyable at all to me anymore.

For the last several years, I just haven't enjoyed my jobs anymore. I've felt very lost. Who knew that picking a career at 18 years old would not lead to happiness professionally!...

Have any of you guys completely changed careers in your 30s? Or got into an "easier" role with less money?

I don't need to be making a ton ($200k+/year) of money. I don't plan on having kids. I have no debts. But also $50,000/year won't be enough for my lifestyle. I just don't want to be living for the weekends anymore. I get major Sunday scaries. I'm always looking forward to Friday. I know work is work and there are no perfect jobs, but there has to be something out there that's more aligned to my strengths, interests, personality, etc. and that I would actually enjoy mostly doing every week. But I also have no idea what that may be. There's not another job or career that's essentially calling me.

So, I guess my question is, for those who have made big job or career pivots, how did you determine what was a good job/career for you? Any books? Tests? Career coach? Therapist? etc.? How long did the transition take? Just your overall experience and insights would be helpful. Thanks!!

I had a very similar phone around 2012.

Saw this yesterday at my local dying mall. Same place I used to hang out as a young teen. Was ordering my 10 year old a boba when we spotted this. She was confused cause she’s never seen one before

My favorites are Darkwing Duck, Gargoyles, DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin and Mighty Ducks.

I just turned 39 on Saturday, and I think I look older. I don't think I look completely old, but I've noticed my skin is more dull and a little bit more saggy. My make-up looks odd on me, and I have to readjust how to put it on. Thankfully, my overall health is okay. I can still exercise. I have a little pain here and there, but I feel okay.

How do you learn to accept aging? I know it seems easy to say.

When the student or the class got rowdy, we had to write standards - basically what Bart had to do on the chalkboard. Did you guys have to do this and is it still a thing ?

Am I missing something?

Mum just sent me this photo of Christmas 93 maybe 94 and feeling rather grateful and appreciative of All the celebrations I’ve had. I’ve been so down about turning 40 but this little girl is still inside me somewhere, hopefully excited for whatever I get to open on Wed morning. Though I do with I had that crystal maze board game again!

After almost five years of referrals, imaging, assessments, physio, appointments, I have finally procured an all-clear for hip replacement surgery! Former rugby athlete and horseback rider, here, spent life before 35 overweight but active. Got my weight down, and everything felt better, not that I would be upgrading stock parts before 50.

Fellow Millennials, tell me about your failing joints and surgery outcomes please!

I remember these hitting the spot after going mountain biking.

So I've been noticing a lot of songs from our youth being covered by newer bands, 3 in particular come to mind for me, Electric Callboy's cover of Still Waiting by Sum 41, and what's really crazy is The Dead South has covered 96 Quite Bitter Beings by CKY, and Chop Suey by System of a Down, a Canadian bluegrass band with no drummer has covered Chop Suey and I absolutely love it.

Do you base it soley on date of birth?

Having experiences such as witnessing world events like 9/11?

Is it a certain attitude?

Share your thoughts.

By use I’m wondering how many people in maybe their mid 30s used the internet heavily pre smartphones, maybe posting on forums actively, early adopters to YouTube, and tech. Like for example, my brother is a year younger than me but didn’t really use the internet before smartphones, however I was very active online since like 6th grade.

You go to KMart or Walmart and walk to the poster catalog to find the coolest poster for your room. Which ones are you going for?

This phrase was taught to me and my classmates through elementary school. We said it together every single day. I have carried it through my whole life and continue to think about it.

What powerful but simple messages do you guys have to share?
