What helps me is to put it in perspective. Alot of people can only get shitty Wal-Mart retail type jobs, they lack the education or skills to have much better prospects. I'm lucky that I've found something better. There are people who envy my job so sometimes I feel bad about complianing. I am doing okay financially. I don't have alot of money but I have enough to live comfortably. Basically, I want to be able to utilize my skills in ways that I can't in my current position and have a place I can call 'home' and really feel that sense of 'belonging' somewhere.
I could just work for myself freelance but I worry how to succeed in it financially with no guaranteed amount of income. Plus I feel good about getting a job offer the traditional way. It makes feel like I'm valued by others, that someone 'wants me' and will take a chance on me.
