Thank you NWgirl!
You're right - I don't really value what I do at this point. It's not really about the money either, I just don't think I'm doing anything valuable to society. I'm trying to find something new that makes me happy.
Good tip about asking questions! I always blank out during conversations and feel awkward. I'll try to remind myself to ask a question about what they do to get them talking about themselves (and not focusing on me)
