I've been in publishing for 7 years, in various writing/editing positions. Only the first job was satisfying, mountains of work, incredible opportunities, but next-to-nothing pay and no benefits. Since then, I've averaged a new job every 18 months. My salary goes up, but responsibility drops. It sounds great, but I feel like I'll never get ahead if I'm not building on my skills or learning new ones. Each job promises me the world--yet I end up bored out of my mind.
I've thought about changing careers, but have no clue what to get into! When I take career tests, they usually point me back to publishing (UGH!) Have others faced this problem? Has anyone out there successful changed careers from publishing?
Thanks!!
