I've worked in the same job for 7 or 8 years and my contract is still I think 10 hours. Before this job I wasn't in any other paid work. I did do some voluntary work for a year before starting university. I still get those occasional thoughts where it feels good to be working and a sense of contribution to society and it makes me look back at times like my late teens or early 20s when I wasn't really in any paid job and wishing I did it earlier knowing how I feel now as a working person.
I also seem to feel as though I'm not particularly interested in rising through the ranks or going up the ladder but I seem to feel that that is maybe what some people of my generation or younger want to do from being a barista to being a business manager. I seem to feel "bad" because I'm not by now working full time and feel like everyone else is.
