Recently I got a question why I work in a warehouse, when I have such good skills- 3 foreign languages at high levels, photoshop, AutoCAD, ms office, good education etc. then I heard good advice about how I should manage my career and I was told look at this person, look at that person, how they manage it, how they run their own business. “Do something about yourself!” Yeah, I love it.
But when I answer that not everyone with good language skills or high creativity is doing a good career, there are many people who have unique or special skills but do basic jobs, I was told “don’t look at others”. So how is it… look at others or not? In my case I just chose this job because it does not damage me mentally. It’s often I could say therapeutic for me. I just do my job, I habe a good attention to detail, good memory etc. and I’m hard working and honest person. It’s being valued. But I guess many people just can’t get it. Anyway this kind of double standard really irritates me. Does anyone have similar experience?
