Feeling a bit stuck

Hi everyone,

I have been in a job now for two years and started off as an apprentice but feel a bit stuck in the same job. I have been applying for other jobs which I would qualify for but have been unsuccessful. I'm reasonably happy where I work.

Does anyone else feel this?

I pay rent in a shared house as I moved out about a year ago and am happy where I live. Although I have been feeling a bit resentful as I earn enough but would like to have money behind me to have my own place.

Thanks Emma

Nothing wrong with continuing to apply for jobs! Plus, I guess you're saving quite a bit of money by living in the shared house. It's good that you're driven to want more from life, as long as you go about it in a good way - which it sounds like you are

Very much so! I've been doing the same job now for four years. I'm finding it pretty repetitive now and so sometimes its hard to feel motivated.

I'm in a difficult position as where I work is very flexible and it fits in great with me doing my MSc. Before I started my MSc though I had the opportunities to apply for roles and try and progress and I talked myself out of it! I'm my own worst enemy really.
