I’ve switched jobs every year for the past six years.
At 22, I taught English at a language school.
At 23, I worked at the front desk of a local gym, signing people up for memberships.
At 24, I worked as an aesthetician, removing people’s hair with sugar paste.
At 25, I taught English at an elementary school.
At 26, I taught English at a kindergarten. At 27, I became a remote copywriter at a digital marketing agency.
And now at 28, I’m back to teaching at a kindergarten.
Sometimes I can’t help but feel like a failure because I haven’t settled into a career yet.
Most of my friends at this age have worked at the same company for years.
Yet, I keep career and job hopping, still trying to figure out the path I want to take.
But lately, I’ve realized though I’ve been job hopping, these years weren’t a “waste” of my life.
Because with each career and job switch, I’ve learned more about myself.
About what I like, what I don’t like, the type of work environment that I thrive in, and the kind of life I want to build.
