It’s been nearly 16 months since Covid shut down the world. 16 long months that has caused many of us to put our lives on hold. A lot has changed in the last year. We now have a vaccine that has likely saved millions of people’s lives. Things are beginning to open up again and we are moving towards normalcy. As this happens I’m starting to think about what’s next for me and my life.
Nearly 16 months ago, I landed a job at Get Schooled. At the time it was the best option as we went into lockdowns and dealt with social distancing. Working at Get Schooled was the harbor I needed when many people lost their jobs, livelihoods and even their lives savings. I was also able to contribute to my 401k and my ETF funds. I am extremely grateful for this.
However, I haven’t been happy at Get Schooled. At many times I’ve been frustrated with the work that I have been doing and have wanted more than this. This has been a hard thing to deal with and it has left me extremely frustrated. To put it simply, I can’t stay at Get Schooled. I feel like my most production years are waisting away making videos that won’t end up on my reel. Something needs to change.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what this change is. I don’t know if it’s in Seattle, Los Angeles, or Guam. (I have no desire of going to Guam.) The point is I desire to do more than this. I want to make work that has more impact and be involved in projects that get me excited. I’m just not sure of how to get there.
As I sit here in my Dad’s office I don’t have many answers. However, one thing is clear. I have a lot of work to do. Venting about it and writing a blog post that I have no intention of posting will not help me make my dreams become a reality. The only thing that will is doing work and connecting with others.
