Feel Like You’ve Got A Little Career FOMO?

New Year, New You Can You Really Just Quit Your Job-Chispa MagazineWhen you first get started in your career, it’s not always easy to feel as if you’ve chosen the right job—or even the right industry for that matter.

If you always feel that teeny bit jealous when your friends talk about their jobs, or wish you’d studied something different at school just to land a cooler job like your favorite TV characters have, you may be constantly questioning your decisions. Because we all know we wish we’d studied law when we watch Harvey and Mike bossing it in Suits! But, you have to remember, that is’ not really real!
