I know how you feel because I had a similar experience Iam now experiencing. So Let me share what I did with my problem. Well, I have to go to college everyday,which I don't like because I was not getting the grades that I am expected from others. But I love music more than anything else and infact I found a new passion thatI would love to do everyday. But my parents had a difficult time getting me in one of the best engineering colleges in the state I live. Also many people warn that it might be very difficult for me to make a career in music because one should start learning music from very early age.I started taking lessons in music for about 2 hours a day(which I started 10 months back). And I also started finding ways to make my college life more productive and interesting. Then I started attending a memory course(pmemory,which Iam currently doing) which, iam finding it very useful. And slowly my marks increased from 30%(in my first internals) to 70%(in my third internals)
As a result of all this I started loving my college life
So, in future, I might decide between these two career choices.
I know you feel very disappointed about your job. And I think you have no other choice other than staying on that job since you want to be financially independent. So my suggestion is to you: Find some ways to make your work more enjoyable and lovable. Brainstorm with this idea until you find one thing useful.Read motivational books to keep you on the track. (
These are the things that Iam actually doing, Iam not telling this just for the sake of giving advice to you )
So let me stress this point:
Find ways to make your job more enjoyable to you! I believe happiness will come naturally to those who love their work since that is what they do the most everyday! Steve has explained it neatly in his book(in the chapter "love"). So you might want to read it.
Hope this might be useful.
