"Stuck in Wrong Career"
A published survey in Singapore reports that more than half of the workers in Singapore have regrets about what they chose to study during their stints in school, polytechnics or universities, with one in three respondents also (being) uncertain about their ultimate career choices and about 10 per cent saying they definitely selected the wrong career.

Without dissecting the credibility of this survey (and plenty others similar to this too), I can't help but agree with the above headline.
Don't get me wrong, I've always wanted to be what-I'm-currently-doing (though it's pretty hazy as to when that ambition came to fruition). It's just that lately I've been questioning my enthusiasm and motivation, often wondering whether I'm in the wrong career, whether I'll get out of this rut and whether I'm brave enough to venture out into other fields (bearing in mind the responsibilities that I have taken up since I started work almost 8 years ago).
As much as I'd like to be able to look into my future via a crystal ball, at the end of the day it all boils down to me and whether I'm willing to take the risk or continue being miserable or demotivated for the next couple of years..
