Office Life Drains Your Soul, What’s Next?

After years of business school and a couple of office jobs, I’ve come to a harsh realization: I’m just not built for this high-stress corporate grind. No matter how good the pay or benefits, every day feels like I’m dragging my spirit through mud. Meetings, endless emails, and the constant pressure to perform—it’s exhausting and honestly, pretty depressing. 😩 I find myself admiring barbers, chefs, or anyone whose work has a clear beginning and end, something tangible and real. There’s a satisfaction in their jobs that I just can’t find in spreadsheets or PowerPoints. Has anyone else felt their entire being screaming to escape the office? I’m desperate for advice from anyone who’s made the leap to a more hands-on, reality-based job. How did you do it? Did it really get better? I’m at a crossroads and could use some real talk from people who’ve been there. 🙏 #CareerChange #OfficeLife #WorkplaceStress #JobCareer
