Name: Kris
Position: Large Telecommunications Company Intern
Tasks: Costing models, re-programming macros to make them work, emailing people, drinking shitty coffee
Favourite aspect of Job: it only lasts 2 months
Ok so I have been here 2 weeks, working from a desk in a very bland and emotionally constricting office space , and I have since pledged to myself that this is not something I will allow to go on for a long time (aka make a career of climbing the corporate ladder). Both for my happiness and my sanity.
I'm only interning at the moment to get some experience and add some credence to my commerce degree however I am certainly not interested in walking this path much further.
Here in lies the million dollar question;
Has anyone left the corporate world behind to start their own business or income generating project and made it work? Does it create more or less work?
or
Have I just got to look elsewhere? Small business maybe? different roles?
Is anyone here happy with their office / business job and can recommend a different angle to take?
Sincerely,
concerned rotorburner
