Hello, I have recently been overwhelmed by gloomy thoughts, although I am only 26. I work in my specialty, but some time ago I chose it more for what I can afford financially, rather than what attracts me and now I feel hellishly dissatisfied. My job is responsible and stressful, poorly paid - in the whole sector it is not only with us, but also this administrative nonsense is so boring to me that literally every day in the office is torture. The bad thing is that I don't have any options for retraining. Since I don't live alone and the funds are not enough, even though we both work, I recently started thinking about an additional source of income. First I decided to try foreign language lessons. I posted an ad in several places, the only one interested was a man who wrote to me at 12 in the middle of Viber. Then I tried an online store for overpriced clothes - despite my many efforts so far and nothing there. Day by day, everything is getting more expensive, and deep down I know that I have the qualities for something more than a bachelor for a salary that ends before the end of the month, even though I have no loans, no smoking, no going to restaurants. Is this life? How the hell do you make money in our country if you're not rich, a liaison, a whore or an IT specialist? I am satisfied in my personal life, but this professional stagnation just kills me! Is this life?

At least say what you graduated to get adequate advice. What other skills do you have?
We all think we deserve more than we get. The labor market is very accurate. In the end, one thing costs just as much as someone is willing to take out for it. If you can't find an employer who is willing to pay more for a staff like you, then obviously as a staff you cost exactly as much as you get. Yes, if she had studied something else, if this, if that, yes, but the choices we make in our lives define us as qualities. Simply put, if in your youth you drove slowly and did not strain with any measly specialty, then this speaks of what kind of person you are and how much of yourself you are ready to invest. Explain to me on the hat that you have changed. All of them change, both you and those who invested more than you in your youth, the difference is that even now they will invest more than you. I'm sorry, not everyone can be a winner.
You associate the meaning of life with social success and money, and this is a problem because ... greed has no end, you will always want more. Just find what makes you feel good without disturbing anyone, of course. You need enough money to survive if you are alone. To do the things you love, let's call them hobbies, now ... it depends on how expensive these hobbies are, but it's a matter of priorities to set aside money for the things you like (of course, if you don't have children or take care of someone ). Do you think you can do more than work for a salary? So you will be able to figure out how. By the way, I do not know why people think it is very bad to work for a salary? The fact that wages are low does not mean that these jobs are lower or unnecessary. Teachers are paid, doctors are paid ...
You do not have to retrain to look for this job. Rather, go to interviews and look for work and they will talk about the fact that salaries in the industry are low, about the fact that you have to look for echishei then. You can do administrative work in any company and people from optical education to specialized engineering do it. How many people studied and did what they studied. I think your focus is different.
And why don't you just try to see the positive in the whole situation? Still, you have reason to be proud of your achievements. How many people have met recently to work in their specialty? Your salary, although not large, I guess, is a normal salary for a 26-year-old. For better or worse, as you yourself said, in Bulgaria, if you are not rich, a liaison, a bloodthirsty or an IT specialist, you grow slowly. I don't know if you notice that about 90% of the people in the highest and most lucrative positions are middle-aged or older. I understand your desire to develop and that's very good, but even if you have "dark thoughts" when you're not hungry, thirsty, you have a job and you get paid, it doesn't make sense. Don't be black-eyed. Otherwise, a person who knows a foreign language well can work in almost any field nowadays. If you really feel extremely dissatisfied, just change jobs. Look for something more lucrative, even if it is not exactly in the specialty.

Life is a strange thing. I am satisfied in my professional life (I work in IT), but absolutely dissatisfied in my personal life .... As to some extent the dissatisfaction in my personal life stems from the satisfaction in my professional life ...
