The problem is that it developed prior to our capacity for speech and exists closer to the spine where it works on a lower level. This primitive decision making part of our brain communicates with us in a primitive way... the "gut feeling" we all talk about when we're trying to make a decision. Many major decisions are better left to the "gut feeling" you get, uncomplicated and unconfused by logic and arguments. Think of it like a reflex action that moves your hand away from a flame before you can even realize there's a problem. When Yow AV8R says "I am in the early stages of the career but know that the career is not right for me." that's all the further you need to go. When you know, you know. Get constructive finding a better match and your outlook will improve as soon as you begin the search. Good luck!
Or, maybe, the ones that are finally successful are that ones that don't quit when they feel like quitting. I don't know. I'll tell you on the day I retire.
