If you’ve had a lot of jobs and you’ve never been happy in any of them, it’s time to ask yourself why. It’s the only way that you’ll find the cause and a solution. It’s not always easy to reflect on things like this as you may not like what you find.

Maybe it’s you

Whenever you have a problem, I think it’s best to look at yourself and what you’re doing wrong. It’s time to be open and honest with yourself; if you can’t do that, you should ask others for help.

You might be entitled, hard to deal with, or an all-around unlikable person at work. You may be acting in a negative way and if you act negatively, you get negative energy back.

Maybe it’s your field

You may have had your heart set on a certain career, but it’s not working out. You have to accept it. It may not be that you’re bad at the job itself, it may be that the industry or the field doesn’t fit you.

Certain industries attract certain types of people, and those people may be assholes. Some industries have a low barrier to entry, and those industries tend to have a lot of crazies. Some industries are all about money and they attract a lot of greedy people.

Maybe you aren’t made for employment
