I want to do something different in my career path. I don’t know what to do. I have applied for job that I could get accepted for. I have also done jobs that I may not get. But it seem like I am stuck in a box with what I could do.

I hear you. Sometimes it's hard to know where to go with your career. It's like, feeling stuck without technically being stuck. Like a mental block, kind of. For me, it helps to put everything on paper. Like a brainstorm where I can see everything laid out visually, which helps me start heading in the right direction. Maybe you could try that.

I feel your pain. One way you can try to get out of this cycle is to apply for jobs that aren't necessarily in your area of expertise.

I decided to do some freelance work and it really opened my eyes to how many different things are out there. Getting into those things is a bit of a different story though. It can be trial and error to get out of the box, sometimes just being in the right place at the right time too.

Being vague is not going to open any pathways to a community “helping you”. Present us with a who/what/when/where/how/who…
