Uninterested in being a shop manager, supervisor etc

Post Reply New Topic

I've worked at my job part time for 8 years in the same position I started as a sales assistant but I don't feel really interested in training for higher positions but I feel like the only one when it seems like everyone else in a job works their way up. I don't have another job besides this one and don't feel like I want another one because a part of me feels well what's the point if I already have a job? I'm starting to feel as though everyone is working full time except me as though it's "abnormal" by my 30s to not be working full time despite feeling quite happy and proud of getting a job while I was still in my 20s before I was 30. I do feel if I hadn't I would be feeling really sorry and bitter with myself. I have a friend who has never had or held a job like me and is the same age but he is quite non verbal.

I can relate. Change sucks, and I just want to do what I have to and then get on with life. Heck, life's already stressful enough without all that climbing the corporate ladder crap.
