Wish you were doing something different?

Does anybody really wish they were doing something different? Feel they have the potential for more? Long for something indefinable? Even though I've had achievers in my family and been connected to the odd reasonably high profile person, I still am quite shy and really want something more but doubt whether anyone gives a toss. Anyone feel the same?

Not sure I entirely understand what you're getting at...are you in one of those deep contemplative moods?

Hmmm I tried to write an answer of what I was feeling but it didnt make sense...sorry

I really wanna be a fireman. Im studying for my degree at the moment, but I really wanna be one.

Or a volunteer in a poorer country.

I just wanna be in a job that helps someone, but Im not smart enough to be a doctor!

After I do my masters, I will definately become a fireman or a volunteer!

I would say I am quite happy with what I do. I am studying English at university and I find it really interesting, plus I am planning to go and live in London for some months as I did last summer (it was great). I think I am heading into the future what I am doing now so that I have a good future.

I understand where the OP is coming from. I think I do, anyway. I'm at a decent enough uni, doing a subject that I like, but I can't help thinking that I'd be happier doing something less educational, and more fulfilling.

I wish I had the motivation to change things, though. That's what I lack...
