Resources
Are you looking at other career opportunities in different fields? Do you have the urge to go back to school and study? When you first started your initial career, you thought it was exciting and full of adventure and endless possibilities, right? After 10-15 years you have come to realize it wasn't what you hoped for and now you want a fresh start.
It is never too late to go back to school and seek other career choices. You do not want to look in the mirror one day and come to realize you made a huge mistake by not going back to school when you had the chance.
Nothing Left to Accomplish
Have you reach the pinnacle of your career at your current job? Do you feel that your current job doesn't present you with any more challenges? If so, then you are at your current job in body but not in mind and spirit and have probably checked out a long time ago mentally. For example, if you have been a manager for 5-10 years and don't see yourself owning the company any time soon, then you should consider leaving your current company for another. Perhaps a change of a venue will ignite your passion and create some enthusiasm for your career once again.
Many athletes are stuck playing for the same city for many years and they feel like they wear out their welcome. Before they really hate the team and fan base, the owners or coaches will send them to a new city where they can career Renaissance. A new job at a different company will give you a shot in the arm because you are presented with new challenges and goals.
You and Your Co-Workers Can't Coexist
Do you love or hate your co-workers? If you hate them more then love them then you might have problems now or in the future. You can tolerate your co-workers to a certain extent but you can't fake liking them every day, can you? You need to like your co-workers to certain degree to have a successful professional career? Do you think you can you go to work every day with people you do not enjoy being with and become a superstar of the office?
If you do not feel a part of the team then you might feel it necessary not to participate in social activities at work and you will just hurry to punch out the clock and go home. If you and you co-workers can't get along it may not seem like a big deal at first, you may just think it's a clash of the personalities and move on initially. Eventually, you will feel isolated and want to move if the situation can't be mended.
Your Boss (Cue the Darth Vader Music)
Do you think your boss is the biggest idiot that walked the Earth? Do you ask yourself every day ''How did this person ever become a boss?'' Does it blow your mind that a person with his or her mental capacity is able to drive themselves to work every morning? If you ask these questions and others, then you might want to consider a new job. It is very difficult working under someone whom you don't have any respect for and wish they would jump off a bridge.
Knowing you have to work hard to make your boss look good to their superiors might make you sick. If you have any of these feelings and thoughts listed above, you should consider a different job and hopefully your ill feelings will disappear.
