I know I’m in the wrong role and at the wrong company, but I feel I’m in too deep to exit to something else entirely. I also have no idea what I want to do or even how to figure that out. Any suggestions? And no, I cannot turn my hobbies into income producing activities-there’s no way I could make enough money to survive and then I probably wouldn’t enjoy them anymore.

I would bump this. I have had a few and there is a difference between someone who knows what they want you to do and someone who knows you want to be happy.

I feel the same way to be honest. Good luck to both of us.

Maybe try to find something else in your field where you can find some fulfillment. Switching companies would be my best advice.

I'm hoping one of my hobbies will really take off and I can make big money that way but the odds are so slim.

Similar boat…graduated college in 2012. So I definitely feel like I’m in too deep.
