Career, Challenges and Learning...

Career-wise, I am not really happy. I have basically reached where I want to, something I planned 2 years before and I really don’t know where to go from now. This is not good for me, as I get easily bored. What to do, what to do....I chose to become a Trainer 2 years. I was a marketing guy selling books to electric shavers, event management guy, working for a start up event Management Company, head hunter, a big time failure and then settling to be a call center executive. That’s when I realized that I would have to grow up. So, I did a bunch of research into where the biggest demands were and came up with being a trainer.

Don't get me wrong. I work at a great firm and I love (for the most part, anyway) the people I work with. I have been here a year now and into training for over some year and a half and can pretty much do whatever it is that I want in training. I guess I have learnt enough that I could live with no constraints professionally, dealing challenges with a great ease.

The problem is that the challenge that I thirst for is pretty much gone and I am not pretty much in the upper limit in the salary department. Sure, I may get a Rs. 20%month raise this year, and maybe next, but after that who knows??? Also, living in what is arguably in an expensive environment doesn't help.

So, I need a new career, a new job that would have a lot of challenges and would help me make some more money

Ideas:

?????????????????

I really dunno, I need a new career, I need challenges, the thirst is there in me to achieve but am not really sure if I am capable. But I have always proved my potential where ever I worked, that’s the only booster. Let’s see how time takes me professionally…

I know with this thirst and desire I would get my dream job sometime, but I dunno how long its gonna take, but I’m sure its gonna take a real long time.

Till then… I’ll do anything to keep the fire inside me alive and burning.
