[quote=Anonymous]When I read many of the posts in the off-topic section, I feel kind of sad.  So many of you have so much career ambition and I used to have that in my 20's but it's completely gone now in my mid-30's and I don't even have kids yet (married but haven't TTC).  I wish I could get this ambition back but it's gone because despite my best efforts, my career has never gone the way I have hoped.  I have never been able to get the kinds of opportunities or jobs that I want.  I do have a master's degree but I ended up in a career path very different than the one I always imagined for myself and tried to work toward.  I'm just wondering how I can get my career groove (ambition) back.  I am active in professional organizations, and am trying to improve my resume by learning new skills and seeking out new opportunities but it doesn't seem to help me land the type of opportunities that will advance my career.  I don't see myself as a successful person (career-wise).  Part of me regrets the fact that I am no longer successful or ambitious, and the other part of me just accepts it and looks for fulfillment in other areas than my career.[/quote]
