When was the last time you sat back and thought "what am I doing"?

Asked by JLeslie (65412points) June 9th, 2015 from iPhone

I was at work yesterday wondering why I was sitting there doing something I don’t want to do. I find myself in a trap right now of wanting to get a job in my field for better pay, but not doing it because my husband lost his job. On the surface it sounds illogical. You would think since he lost his job that it would make sense for me to pursue a better paying job. The problem is when he lands a job we will likely have to move. I keep wondering how long to stay in my box before pursuing what I really want. Plus, if he doesn’t get a job soon, the money will start to matter to both of us. He typically earns almost 3 times what I would if I went back to my career.

What about you? When was the last time you didn’t know how you wound up where you were, or realized you were traveling down a path you weren’t really interested in being on? What did you do? Or, are you still in the situation?
