Has anyone used a career counselor? Are they useful? I feel like I want out but nothing sounds interesting and I don’t even know how to TELL what’s interesting or if I’m just chasing a way out.

Same boat. I can’t even articulate what I want to do very well but basically I want a position that’s more in line with growing/strategy of a business. Maybe marketing maybe that’s just called CEO 🤣 ....but I just feel like audit doesn’t do anything for the company itself, just checks a box year after year and at the end of a year your 12 months of work gets filed away never to be seen again except to use as reference for next year.

Whereas I started a very small company with my husband a few years ago that will likely never make a profit or at least not sustain a decent income for us. However, the experience of running a company, being in charge of social media, purchasing merchandise, setting up events, community outreach etc I have truly loved and doesn’t even feel like work.

Aside from just being an entrepreneur or thinking I could magically jump straight to CEO, I’ve been wondering if there is actually a role or path to a role that would give me more hands on responsibility for the direction and public interaction for a company
