I'm increasingly worried about the direction of my future as it pertains to work.
My job is in heavy demand, but I don't particularly like what I do. It doesn't allow for a lot of creative wiggle room, and I'm worried that the longer I stick with it, the more I'll be stuck with it in terms of what employers will see in me.
The thing that holds me back is that there isn't much else out there in my skillset that is going to pay comparably. My company has a reputation of being one of the better paying in the city, and at the very least, I like the people that I work with, and consider them capable and fun to be around. That said, morale is low and everyone wants to leave.
It seems like I'm trapped if I stay home. But, I don't want to move anywhere because I'd really struggle without my friends and family, and I already own a home here with amazing cost of living and all that jazz.
What can I do? How do I escape this trapped feeling? I don't want to do this for the next ~40 years of my life.
