Hi Fastlaners,
I wanted to make a thread in hopes some of you could give me some general life advice or direction as I believe I'm in a quarter life crisis.
Quick background: I am 25 y/o, currently a licensed CPA and working at a large mutual fund company. I went into accounting because it came pretty easily to me, I know I'd have job security and it was one of the more "prestigious" jobs/careers. I feel like I get no enjoyment or satisfaction from my job and hate the idea of not being able to live my day to day life on my own schedule.
I'm generally unhappy and depressed these days and I am fairly certain it comes down to my career choice. There is no work life balance and I feel like a prisoner, going to his cell everyday where I have to serve my time each day until I'm released and can live again.
I'm all over the place at the moment, I've considered switching careers, jobs, relocating for work, or finally taking a step toward the Fastlane. I read the book a few years ago and have lurked the forum periodically. I have no roots where I am - aside from my small immediate family, I'm single and have a good amount of savings built up ($60k) with very minimal monthly expenses. I feel like I'm at a huge crossroads in life and it's time for me to make a decision, but I am not sure where to start or what I should go into.
Can anyone offer some advice or direction on how I should approach this?
