Career Life Crisis

I've hit the wall. This is a phrase I often use when I'm doing something (usually shopping, or studying) and all of a sudden I come to an abrupt stop and realize I can go no more. There is no slow realization to this conclusion, no build up of any sort. It isn't a feeling I see coming in the distance or a decision I make one small thought at a time. It isn't like jogging where first you become short of breath, then your legs start to burn and then you get a cramp forcing you to slow down then maybe walk. Nope, it's as if my motivation and desire suddenly run head on into a wall; thus the phrase I utter "I've hit the wall" and I cease to continue.


Well, I've hit the wall with my career. I'm a buyer for a wireless technology company, and though a great company (I call it the Google of San Diego) I realize that buying is not what I want to do. The problem is, I don't know what I want to do. I do know I want to move back to AZ and right now, that's taken a primary focus in my career goals, but I just know purchasing is not something I wish to pursue any longer. Further into this conundrum I sink when I realize, I don't know HOW to move to another path. Sure you read about it and you see people do it all the time. They used to be this and now they do that. But how?? How do you get companies to take a chance on you when all you have is a very narrow area of experience?

And so begins my quest into my career life crisis. I'll be sure to keep you posted
