Feeling stuck in a job that pays the bills but drains your soul? You're not alone. In today’s Question of the Day, we hear from Tyler in Tennessee—a 29-year-old marketing professional making $56K who’s craving a more creative career but feels trapped by student loans and financial obligations.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you have to keep doing what you studied in college or feared losing financial stability while exploring a dream job, this episode is for you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why your degree shouldn’t dictate your future (and what sunk cost fallacy has to do with it)
- How to build a creative business without quitting your 9–5 cold turkey
- The difference between a survival job and a dream job—and why you may need both for a while
- How to make a smooth, strategic transition into entrepreneurship
- Why stability and peace matter more than fast moves when pivoting your career
