Stepping out of what we want to provide

I had to step out of my career path to pay the bills . The profession I chose and was educated in do not really favor females , I am realistic and well aware of this ,I did grow up with old fashion older brothers who stated where a females place should be considering I was very much a tom boy. I managed to make this new path somewhat decent stepping ladder in the few years in been in it for a possible new career . Sometimes you never know till you get there.

Hi Temukisa Mamea - I am sorry to hear that! There is still a ton of lingering sexism and ideas on what a woman 'should be doing' and not what a person is capable of doing.

I am ecstatic to hear that despite those obstacles, you have plunged into your desired career path and made the best of it.

So are you still in that field that you wanted, or is that the one that you had to step out of to provide? Sorry, I am a bit confused!

If that is the case, then I think there is no shame or problem with having to step out to provide for your family.. It's important, and noble.

Thanks for sharing with the community!
