As I’m driving along with not much to do, I stare out the window and think deeply about my life. I’m a naturally intrinsic person and I often analyse who I am, what I’m doing here and how I’ll be able to become the person who I want to be. At the moment I think there are quite a few things that I need to change about myself. I’m not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and I want to be better but I’m not quite sure how.
One issue I’m struggling with at the moment is that I don’t know if I want to be a tradie anymore. It sucks that I’m feeling like this because I just invested in brand new aluminium ute canopies for my car. They weren’t cheap and I had them made and installed for work so if I decide not to be a tradie anymore, I’ve pretty much wasted my money. That’s not the fault of the company that installed my ute canopy – in fact they did such a good job that my ute canopies are part of the reason I still want to be a tradie. Other than that though, I don’t think there’s much really keeping me in the industry. I’m not getting much satisfaction from it anymore which saddens me because I invested a lot of my life into it. It’s really sad of letting go of something that you used to love.
I wonder, if I decide to pursue another career, will I be able to sell my ute second hand for more money because I got professional ute tray installation in Melbourne? Surely that would up my resale value quite a bit? I would like to think so but I’m not sure. I just hope that whatever career I choose next makes me happy. It’s quite hard for me to let go of this career but I need to do what makes me happy.
