[quote=@Liv] I'm disappointed of where I'm at in life. I have a master's degree and experience (slightly related to my degree), plus I qualify for certain applicant preference but I'm currently working at an entry level job where someone with a year of general office experience and straight out of high school can get. The people I work with are amazing and the position itself is unique and relatively new, but I can't help but feel ashamed when I compare myself to my successful friends. [/quote] Totally get it. I've pretty much gone through that whole emotional roller coaster and sometimes still do, but being in my (almost) mid thirties and having little ones running about, I've begun to release a lot of my own dreams and aspirations to help fulfill theirs.
