What to do when you find you are in the wrong profession?
For various, sometimes unavoidable reasons, a lot of us end up in the wrong profession - aka the profession we do not enjoy. A lot of people refuse to acknowledge it and confess it for the fear of being called an 'idiot' who 'entered into it with open eyes'.
Has it happened to you or anyone you know? What do you think is the best way to deal with the problem and how to fix it? I've a few ideas which I'll share after a few responses in this discussion.

DhirajKumarA senior colleague once told me, there are three important things in your job money,satisfaction and growth, and if you are getting two of these,continue!. I think even if you are not enjoying the work and you are growing and making money keep doing. In case if you are enjoying and there is no growth or money, you need to think! -
Saandeep SreerambatlaI have read , followed and understood that if you are enjoying what you are doing continue. Everything else will follow.
As far as I am concerned I am 65 % satisfied or enjoying with what I am doing. -
jeshukb09The topic is very interesting and relates with many of our colleagues and friends.
It is always seen that many of our friends taking technical course and ending up in any of the software company. One of the main reason is the less availability of employment in core sections and also the increase in competitors.
The enjoyment of the work comes in the way one approach with his or her job.
Some wants to make money. For them I prefer to say that continue the job if it pays you a lot and at the same time you should be able to get time in needs.
Some work for the satisfaction. For them it is good to change your job until you get a job which satisfies yourself. Along with it, one should also consider the pay that will meet his needs and ability.
