Unmotivated at work?

How do you know when youre in the wrong field

I'd suggest trying different fields until you find one you want to pursue. Volunteering is a good way to get involved in fields you might be interested in.

For example you might like animals. So you'd volunteer at a zoo. Biology interests you? Hospitals love volunteers. It's also a great method to network.

Godspeed and good luck!

Job brings you money. Unless you manage to make some big hit to get a lifetime earnings you are bound to work until retirement.

The benefits of high paying jobs are things you should pursue - nice car that you dreamed for, that place you wanted to go your whole life, that type of girl you always wanted to fuck (latina, african, asian) in her native country, the apartment, condo or villa with the best view in your country and the list goes on.

Also you can find a hobby and get the best possible equipment. You should not miss the little joys - when I played table tennis and got my first nice rocket for 35 eur back at 20 I felt the king of the world after I played my childhood with 0,5-1 eur ones, when I got my first car below 7 years, when I bought my condo this year. You need to figure out what activity and things sparked joy and you never made them to have an activity chart to fill.

What are you going to college for? What subject are you trying to get a degree in? Maybe you could try to find a job in a related field.

I learned I prefer working at smaller companies than big corporations, although I do miss the great benefits. I also learned that I hate sitting at desk in front of a computer all day and found being out and about doing actual physical stuff much more fulfilling. For one, the day goes by a lot faster. Two, there is more variability/variety throughout the day. And three, you don't have to deal with office bullshit. Maybe you will find learning a skilled trade more fulfilling. I also found entrepreneurial endeavors to be fulfilling even though all my businesses so far have failed.

I'm not passionate about anything either, except for one thing: mountain climbing. I love it. But it's expensive. It requires a lot of planning, logistics, equipment, traveling, and physical training. I'm not super passionate about my job, but being able to afford to an annual mountaineering expedition motivates me to do all kinds of shit I hate to do.

You have to take risks. You have to be able to read the writing on the wall and make the jump to something else before you get fired. You gotta try stuff out and figure out what you like or can endure for a fat paycheck. I'm telling you, once you get a taste of that sweet life, you will do anything you can to taste it again. If you're bored, do something exciting or scary.
