i recently started a new job, and even though i should probably feel grateful because i’m earning and gaining experience, i can’t shake this feeling that i chose the wrong path, the work itself isn’t terrible, but i don’t feel excited or fulfilled by it. some days i already feel drained before i even start, and it’s making me question if this is really what i want long-term.

the problem is, i don’t know if this is just normal “adjusting to adulthood/work life” or an actual sign that i’m in the wrong field. part of me wants to stick it out because i’m scared of making impulsive decisions, but another part of me is worried i’ll waste years ignoring how i really feel.

has anyone else gone through this in their 20s?
