Quarter-Life Crisis

I'm not sure if quarter-life crisis is actually a proper term, but I'm sure most people are familiar with the term mid-life crisis. Same uncertainties with life, but at a younger age; in the mid-twenties. My secondary school friend introduced this term to me when I was pouring my woes and frustrations abt work and life in general to her. Turns out she had the same problem, and so do another 2 close friends of ours. It helps when the 4 of us get together and verbalise our frustrations.

I have my insercurities and doubts abt my job. Sure, being a healthcare professional does give me some measure of job sercurity; we're less likely to be laid in times of economic crisis/downturn, but my insecurities stemmed from an innate worry that I'll make mistakes in my course of work and affect the life of another person. In addition, I never really had much passion for my course of study since first year in university. Nevertheless, I went on to finish my course with honours and completed my internship as my parents wanted. Although I have been practising for 2 years, my passion is still as low as university days, and I do begin to wonder if I am cut out to be a pharmacist. This self-doubt is most acute when there are conferences coming up and I see my colleagues getting really excited abt attending the conferences. No conferences ever make me feel excited or grab my attention. I guess subconsciously I refuse to accept this profession.

As of now, I am still stuck in this job as I haven't the guts to quit. I pray one day I'll find my way out of this muck. (>_<)
