Share your profession

I am curious how many of us are employed/volunteer in a helping profession. I am a social worker in a level 1 trauma center and notice a lot of other social workers, RN's, medical staff and caregivers on these boards. I feel like I spend so much time helping others, supporting other and empowering others, when I really should be more empowering, helpful and supportive to myself and my needs.

How'd you get out of it?! I've been in five, going on six years, and I feel like this is where I am going to stay even if I get tired of it!

I finally just had enough, the politics were eating me up. I started putting in for other jobs I was interested in. I got a job with a wonderful pipeline company and I have never looked back. I love my job now, only regret is that I waited so long. It does trap you, I thought I was doomed. My parents both retired from corrections, one was a warden and one a major. My younger brother is a pharmacist in corrections. Just start looking for something you may be interested in and put in resumes. It may take a bit but eventually it will happen.
