The noble art of being dissatisfied

Maybe it is a matter of being nearly in my 50s, but the thing is that I’m tired of my professional career until this point.

I’ve been struggling with trying to be an architect, a construction manager, and a project manager in the AEC industry.

And I didn’t do bad. I got promoted from one job to another, built an interesting profile, and got offers based on my skills.

But construction jobs in Spain are somewhat like a vampire.

They suck your vitality out of you.

These days I’m starting a new motivating project, that will allow me to improve my skills by learning from the best colleagues I could imagine.

But each day I arrive at work, the first thing I do is search when the train back home will leave in the evening.

That must mean something.

In the meanwhile, I have been proposed to develop some side hustle that sure will fulfill my creative needs.

It will not be for the money, but for the sake of showing myself that I can have a Plan B from Outer Space, in case I need it.
