After working for 4 years in media/e-commerce companies as a marketing communications: copywriter/content writer(worked closely with the marketing team), I took a break from work to attempt GMAT. Things didn't go as planned, bombed the test on the first attempt scored a 480, then retook it, scored a 580, retook it again and scored a 540 (this happened in a span of 3 years)
went through a lot of **** in my personal life during this phase, but will talk about that in detail later.
last year December I started working again as a content writer for an eCommerce clothing brand, but started giving interviews again, there's no work stress as such, but my boss is partial and doesn't recognize the work I do. I am also getting paid lesser than I should be getting paid, especially for the volume/quality of work I am doing and years of experience and efficiency I bring. I have tried to pitch in my ideas to her, she rejects it doesn't let me lead a project because I think she doesn't like me for some reason. It has been like this since she saw that people from other teams like me and even the ceo/hr departments showed a liking for me. She often tries to be friendly with me to she expects me to tell her things about my personal life. I have worked enough years to understand how people can use your life's personal info to make life difficult for you.
The company is not doing well, there's no learning here and I'm not happy with my salary so I started giving interviews again and realised a few things.
1. I can do a good job but I'm not passionate about this job.
2. I don't like how people in my field work.
3.They expect us to stand up comedians more than copy writers.
4. I'm good at editorial roles.... I scored a 94% on SC(GMAT)
I could do an MBA, I even understand the test better now, maybe I'll get a good score and get into a good University and even get a job but I don't know now if I want to continue in this field
Help me out please, I'm interested in psychology and in becoming a psychologist if I had been guided better in life I would've done this degree. I see myself in this role and see myself doing well. But I'm already 30 and I don't know if it would be a wise move to do this.
Help me out.
What should I do?
