Doing my dream job now. I hustled hard in my 20s and 30s with several internet-based businesses that were successful. In my 40s, a bout of depression occurred where I realized I was unfulfilled (money truly isn’t everything). These days, after selling the businesses, I retired for a couple years, blew through my hobbies and interests, became bored out of my mind and set out for a new path.
I’m now in a career that allows me to help people finance the first home (mortgage lender). In the career, I’m meeting a ton of new people each week, clients, referral partners and more. This is what I wanted/needed, to not be a hermit in my home working online, and to start working with others.
The job is challenging but it’s also very fun. At the same time, I wouldn’t recommend it to those that need consistent stable income because interest rates have provided fewer transactions nationwide. In the perfect environment, most struggle to make decent income for a couple years and I’m no exception.
Looking back, it turns out I choose a good path, but in reality, had I just started volunteering in the community, I would have been just as fulfilled.
