What careers don’t get enough credit for being fulfilling, acceptable pay and a good work life balance?

    Some days I miss serving so dearly but I am not an extrovert at all and I absolutely hated having my pay depend on my mood. I’m not very fond of faking it and sometimes it was just so draining. I’m so jealous of the people that can do it well for a long time though, my sister saved up so much money and I had colleagues walking out making 2 or 3x as much as I did, and I wasn’t bad off myself at all most days.

      I’m very much an introvert, just one with strong people skills. But you’re right that it can be draining. I love it, though, and I’ve been at it for decades.
