“Quit feeling passionate about my job”
What Actually Happened
I have a fairly decent job working in the courts, but I've lost my passion for it. I still make sure to get my work done, but I don't care about it and don't have aspirations to take it further. I feel like I won't get anything better than this job.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known that it's okay to not care about my job and that it's normal to feel unfulfilled in my career."
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
