Lots of empathy here, One. I am a fish out of water in the working world. I always take whatever I can get and never can act proactively to take advantage of opportunities to progress. I then get burned out by keeping myself in low level positions in dysfunctional environments. I was hoping time off would allow me to figure things out. Now I have put myself in a position of having been out of work for 4 years and limited options (at least as far as I see it). I also have next to no interest in going back to school for anything. It all just takes too much time, effort, money and stress to start from square one with a huge probability that I'll end up just as unhappy. But then having no future is killing me. The proverbial rock and hard place I have put myself in.
