Need job/life advice

Keep working the job while simultaneously find job you do want. Not working solves nothing, and for most people, that's how you end up living in a basement at home for 20 years looking for that "job".

Not working is addictive, as well as takes away your freedom since you generally don't have income.

Work is good for your self-esteem. Keep on doing it, while looking for something else.

Nothing worse than sitting at home thinking about stuff. Your work is not a reflection of you.

You are not a loser.

There are several ways to look at this, all of which are valid answers.

Personally, I think working while you look for something you enjoy and can succeed in will be the best course of action. Not working isn't good for your mental health as a man. But slaving away for scraps, making other people rich, and not getting anything in return isn't either.

If this construction job is like most construction jobs I've personally known, then you might just want to be on autopilot for awhile and do a notch or two above the minimum. Don't scrape the very bottom of the barrel, but don't go out of your way to bust your ass above and beyond, either.

Unless you're looking to impress upon some corporate leadership structure that you have the drive and passion to climb up and do great things within this company, it will be for nothing.

At the same time, you don't need to get fired or quit -that's going to look bad on your resume when it comes time to start interviewing for a better job.

Just suck it up, go into work, do whatever you gotta do to get by, and go home as soon as you can.

What you need, though, is a job that you can fucking feel the success vibrating throughout your body in. Something where your efforts pay off, your ethic and hard work gets noticed, and the right people make comments on your future upwards mobility.

That's one of the best feelings in the world.

When you get in that realm, and start truly learning about leadership -and how to be a true leader, not one of these pre-packaged failures from the school of business that the 80s and 90s churned out.... you'll feel like a goddamned superhero using cheat codes to success. People will be dumbfounded at how you're able to be such a great leader and surpass the mediocrity around you.

But you can't thrive in that kind of environment until you've found the kind of career where you enjoy the actual work, though. You've got to be passionate about at least some aspect of what you're doing, else you will be miserable.

If you're physically and emotionally miserable at this construction job, I don't see you being successful there. So coast by until you find better opportunity. But don't quit unless you absolutely have to.

Hi, think yourself as the business owner and you will have a whole new perspective. Who would let someone who is inexperienced to take on important roles, despite having related studies. First prove urself to have the right attitude and capability that you CAN responsibly handle whatever comes your way. If your company does not resonate to your skills and effort, tines to leave for other path

Keep the job until you find a new one. Look for something that is entry level but in the business field and once you have it, you can put in your 2 weeks at your construction job. Go apply at every bank in driving distance or something. Good luck!

Have you had any jobs before this because places can look past the inexperience of actual work in the related field if you showed competence in past jobs. Hopefully I explained it clearly enough.

I would suggest you get into recruiting, if you like sales and talking to people desk job, competitive salary+ commission ( you can make 6 figures in 2-3 years)

Unfortunately, there is a oversaturation of people with business degrees. Federal jobs are always a option.
