[URGENT] No Job and Unsure Which Path to Take
Hello, I’m from Spain and I’m 30 years old. I spent a few years working in the IT sector. I earned a good salary and had good working hours; however, I felt empty and felt that I wasn’t contributing anything to society or doing anything to help people. So I left my job and decided to pursue a master’s degree so that I could teach, since I thought I could contribute something to the new generations.
However, I still haven’t managed to find a job. Sometimes I think I made a mistake by leaving my job in IT and I consider going back. Other times, I think I need to be more patient and that the path will be hard, but that it will be worth it. Still, I can’t take it anymore. My mind is divided between continuing to try to get a job as a teacher or going back to IT.
I pray the rosary, I ask God for help, and right now I’m praying the novena to Saint Joseph. However, I feel helpless and somewhat desperate. What can I do? I’m afraid that I won’t be able to find something and won’t be able to support a family. My girlfriend supports me a lot, but I feel like I’m failing her too by not being able to provide.
