I really love my job. I like trying to help people figure things out and creating methodologies that make it easier for people to replicate best practice. It’s like legos but with people and systems. At the end of the project I can say “I did this! And here’s the blueprint!”
Of course there are aspects that I don’t like but overall I’m happy. But would totally be happy if somebody offered me a job at Legos.

Keep up your day job until you have enough momentum in your side gig to do it full time. I’m a big proponent of doing the job that gives you contentment!
You’re so young. Only 6 months in the workforce is a really tough time. I know very few people who didn’t have a hard adjustment period when they started working - I know I did and most of my peers did. I think it’s good to put in some more time where you are and learn about how the world of work works and how your industry works. It’s part of the educational experience of becoming an adult. And keep working on the side hussles too of the things you do have more confidence that you like - if you can ultimately move into something you truly do like, power to you! But in my experience people your age think the grass so Greener in something else but might not really like that other industry long term if they made the switch (how the industry works is key, and how you get paid is all part of it - you’ll learn you can just take the parts you’re passionate about wo the downsides in any industry). Where you’re at it’s good to learn in a more nuanced way what you like and don’t in a workplace. And not just real estate v IT but do you like project work or longer term initiatives, working w a team or by yourself, what kinds of coworkers/culture, etc. As you learn those things about yourself it will help you find better fits as you move along - in this industry or totally different ones.
I don’t think most people can make a judgment on if they really like their job or not at 6 months in the workforce. But also you need to realize that you (and all of us) have been oversold this idea that we all need to love our jobs and they should be our passions. For some people that works out, but for the vast majority, all jobs are still going to be jobs that are hard at times and have tradeoffs and parts we don’t like. That’s the more realistic truth for almost all people. The key is getting to know yourself and find the right fit of tradeoffs for you. I’ve read some study a while back say that most people don’t find a job they’re truly satisfied in for an average of 8-12 years. I think by then you gather enough skills you can move where you would like but also youve learned your self and your working style enough to find the best fit.
Trying to be fully satisfied in your job at 23 or so is an unrealistic expectation. Be more focused on getting to know yourself and also thinking about and working towards where you want to go. What you need to feel content w is the trajectories possible for you, not the exact spot you’re in now. Hope that helps
Thank you so much for taking the time out to write this. I agree with you, that a lot of us struggle in thinking that the the grass is greener on the other side. That’s why I plan on staying put for some time. I just hope longer term, I can find something I truly enjoy doing as my main source of income.
Thank you again, for your kind and grounding words!
And as I’m trying to continue to work on real estate deals on the side (as an agent), I can’t do that full time right now, due to the lack of income stability.
