[Closed] Feeling a succes?

mrwhyte · 2018-10-31T08:00:30Z

So I quit teaching last year and took a 15k pay cut, I wanted to get a proper work life balance and I really did not have that as a head of department. Now I work with a heritage charity, still linked to education. I love it as its interesting, still working with kids and I get to work in a castle. However, part of me does not feel like a success, which another part of me says is ridiculous. I am fairly happy, healthy, more spare time, live and work in a great area. The other part of me does not feel like a success, probably in the materialistic sense, but also in a career kind of sense. I have zero responsibility at work, but feel as though I should feel more ambitious. My disposable income each month is non-existent, so that has added a tiny bit of stress. Has anyone else quit a well paid job with responsibility and felt the same?

You sound pretty successful to me cheers_drive. Most people tell fibs and present themselves in a certain light on social media. Best avoided in my humble opinion. Apart from this place obviously.

Flange where is this moody pub? Close to Ipswich? I can come and buy beer too. (Is the pub dog friendly as the pooch will need to come along as there is a minor barrage happening in East Ipswich)?
