If you're doing exactly what you're doing in 10 years, would you be happy?

Okay, we don't actually have a basement, but yes, I'm this pathetic.

Everyone get's to that point, the way out of it is a job. Find something your passionate about that you would be happy doing as your job for the rest of your life, even if it's a tough path, that will result in you finding your own place, then eventually new people.

I was a bit melodramatic, but the core is true. I appreciate the advice, and I know what needs to be done. I'm just unlucky enough to have an education, which on paper is a very good one, in a field that doesn't provide much perspective at the moment and was hit very hard by the economical crisis.

I spent 8 years on this degree (master's in engineering/architecture), but now it begins to feel like a bit of a waste. Don't get me wrong, it was the best of times and I'm proud of myself I earned my title. When I started however, there wasn't really an issue and jobs were plenty, but the board has changed after these years unfortunately. I'm not giving up though, but I'm slowly starting to begin to look at other fields of employment. I'm aware I could have a better chance outside Europe, but I really don't want to leave. I like my own country too much.

But yeah, I'm not giving up .
