If you can choose again, will you choose another career path? My answer is NO. Cause I believe a career will choose you instead.
If you’re lucky, you can do what you learnt from the university. But, I see people work at other career paths in reality. For example, my brother, he learnt about medical equipment, then he landed his career as a software engineer. Another brother learnt about business, finally he landed his career as a senior in computer hardware. And many more cases out there. Your professionals come in an unexpected way.
So, if you cannot choose your “dream” career, don’t dream. A dream job is just that it meets most of the criteria you have set. Stable job, good income, friendly colleagues, and other positive things combined, it’s a dream job. Yes, you have to be in the environment you work in long enough to realize it. But when you first graduate, you’re still very clumsy.
And when you see that your job isn’t what you expected or dreamed of. Then you’re bored with your job because you cannot find new things and new challenges. Over time, you have to get used to it, no one can stay in the same place forever. But what is it about getting used to the job? With less challenge, everything you do becomes more precise and faster. Getting bored.
Therefore, when the job is less challenging in your current position, why don’t you propose to your “boss” to give you challenges in new roles? If that doesn’t exist in the environment you’re working in, then why don’t you boldly find a new environment? Maybe he was “scared” by the comfort zone. It’s like “leisure job” and “stable salary” here. So why do you keep complaining about boredom?
Stop complaining about boredom, the more you complain, the more bored you’ll be. Challenge yourself more, do other things that you have never done before. Focus on improving yourself and everything around you’ll improve. Then try it, who knows, you might suddenly change your career. Stop complaining about boredom and always love your job!
