Well, there is something I already do part-time...although it is not a business. I want to be an artist (I pretty much spend all of my free-time painting). I would like to eventually go on to get a Master's in Art, but right now I feel blocked since I have a Bachelor's degree in a totally unrelated field. So I keep painting...I've been submitting my work to jury shows (haven't been accepted to any yet) to at least try to build up a resume. So for me the office job is so I can put food on the table and keep a roof over my head. I think part of me is so dissatisfied with where I am at...I just want something..anything to change. A lot of the reason I want to change jobs is totally for ego reasons. I hate that I am working at a job that I'm overqualified for and underpaid. I want to be successful; I want to excel in life. I want more money.
I know that I am blocking myself by seeing all the obstacles instead of looking at the possibilities. I have just been so depressed about this area of my life, and can't seem to get out of this rut. I still don't even know for sure if getting a different job would help. I would love to find a way to get into the art field, but I don't even know where to begin to do that.
