Started in a job after University that I thought would be my career forever. It was the family business (not directly, through an uncle) and was in manufacturing sales.
Needless to say the glamour wore off real quick. Within one year I was miserable. When I finally worked up the courage to quit, I found myself smack dab in the middle of the recession.
Worked a Jr. administrator position for a company that taught me tons but paid absolutely nothing. Embarrassing really now that I look back on it. But it gave me the experience to move up.
I now work in Commercial banking and even though I feel like I am starting again for the third time, feel so much better going into work every day.
Never be afraid to switch careers, challenge yourself or look for something that makes you happy.
