This thread has some great advice, thank you all! I hope you all find your true passion and end up being super happy with your life - I really do. Though I need a bit of consulting at the moment since I have no idea if this is something worth risking for and make sure I don't jeopardize anything. Look for the bold text if you don't feel like reading some kid whining about his job. I finished school a year ago, I was happy and exhausted from all the pressure I had gotten and started focusing on my creative side (drawing and all that jazz). I did the things I enjoyed to do and talked to a lot of neat people and finally managed to stabilize my happiness. I was happy! Then I recently turned 18 (adult life woah!) and instantly got pushed into having a job (retail to be specific) - "Okay" I thought, "Nothing big. I can handle it for sure! At least keep my family happy about it." But after working after a month or two I noticed something going downhill. I'm not happy. I started getting depressed, I would forget about things I'd usually remember, get extremely exhausted and would have no time for my hobbies and even if I did I would drop my pen because of aching pains in my wrist from all the work. No way was this going to be the number one reason on why I shouldn't be helping customers with a smile and wishing them a good day. Hell, there shouldn't even be a single reason to begin with. "No way in hell" I thought. Though I really wanted to quit my job after hearing from two different people from two different countries that they're getting paid a lot better by just working at a flower shop and have less physical labor, working days and hours. Boy did I feel like someone was twisting my guts after that (and I still do). Hell, I thought I should move out of here and work outside of my country or even live there. And honestly that really seems a lot better than what I'm currently experiencing right now. I agreed with my boss to work for few weeks before quitting. (They don't have a lot of people working on my section and I hate to leave anyone hanging all of the sudden even though they said I can quit whenever I want.) What I'm asking is Is it really a good idea to move to a different country, or even temporarily, for just a measly job like a flower shop? Because, honestly, getting paid 2 or even 1 euro per hour (because of taxes) while your friend casually mentions he gets paid 6 euros per hour and has half workdays and hours compared to mine - sounds like heaven to me. Or should I just look for a different job? Because well, y'know, family and all. Really sorry if I posted in the wrong thread and for all this drama in advance.
