COVID has made me realize I have no idea what I want to do with my life. My job has been increasingly frustrating, and the salary freezes/loss of benefits has made me resent what I’m doing even more. As a junior I’m not making crazy money and could probably pick up a nannying gig and make the same. Is it crazy for me to take some time to figure out my real goals and do something that doesn’t make me so miserable in the meantime?

Absolutely not a bad idea to want to take time out. But copywriting is a bloody lucrative profession is you’re good and go solo. I end up writing most copy for my business because most copywriters are so bad and still cost a fortune. I can point you for where to look if you’re interested in that.

If there’s any time to do it, now would be the time. As you probably know recruiters are ruthless sometimes, but if you want to continue being a writer in the future, I think they’d be totally understanding in a few months or a year that you needed time for yourself now.

Look on the bright side...you could be working in public accounting 😭😭
