Your journey sounds a bit like mine. Like you, I have a job I respect but not one I love. Travel and writing are completely unrelated to my degree from college - accounting. It's a big risk to make a change like that I wish you all the best! Let me know how it goes! :) Thanks Jenneil. Your journey sounds a bit like mine.

However, I think my life plan is reversed. I used to know what I wanted to do for a career and I was on the path towards it (even in it). However, life can throw you curve balls and I realized that the cliche "there is a reason for everything" can be completely true... Now, I am working in a job I respect, but do not love. And, I have spent the last 6 years trying to figure out my life path. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I realized I had 2 major passions in life: writing and traveling (completely opposite of what I had "trained for). Even then, it wasn't until about a year ago that I realized those two passions could be combined into one life fulfilling "career." I am now planning to take a risk, by taking a leave of absence from work, to see if those passions can become a career. We begin our rtw in about 6 months and I can't wait, regardless of the professional/career outcome. Thanks for the inspiration Jeremy. P.S. Since you live in Sac, we should get coffee sometime if you are not too busy. A lot of what you said completely resonates with me… However, I think my life plan is reversed.

Combine that with my accounting degree and my love for travel and you have a lifelong budget traveler. :) Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read.

Yes, there will be a part II to the job satisfaction piece so stay tuned. Also, if you love travel, most of my writing has been done on my <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-24883-Sacramento-Budget-Travel-Examiner" rel="nofollow">Sacramento Budget Travel Examiner</a> page. So check that out if you are interested in travel tips, destinations, my frugal approach to traveling, and more.

It makes me want to find out more. What's changed? How? Why? What can we learn from it? Which means I'll have to come back again:) I'm a huge fan of travel and only seem to do it on a budget so you've won me over there. I don't understand why people go overseas and then stay somewhere like the Marriott. Might as well stay at home!:) Hi Jeremy, I like this post. It makes me want to find out more. What’s changed? How?
