I started my career journey at the Front Desk. I had no direction in life, and didn't actually for most of my working life. I tried to do my best at the job, and I explored other jobs. I kept trying, though I felt that everyone else seemed to have a better situation and clear goals.
My move out of the hospitality industry was to a secretarial position in a very bad department in a good company. I won't go into why it was bad but it was...very upsetting and horrifying. But that job got me at least into the pink collar ghetto, which was a step up, and with good benefits, and holidays off.
It hasn't been easy, but I kept trying to seize opportunities to learn important skills along the way, and they do come but it is up to us to recognize them and have the right attitude. I furthered my education at night. I now have an upper middle class income. But it has taken me years of trying, years of bad jobs. I never found my passion. Some of us never do and that is okay, not ideal but okay. It's what we make of it.
Girl, no one is going to hand you a great job and a great life on a silver platter. It is going to take a lot of hard work. You have to build skills, learn, go back to school for something most likely, keep at it. That is the reality of life for most of us and you are not a special snowflake that is entitled to have all holidays off, a high income, etc etc. Go out and work your front desk job and start making something of your life even if you don't know how that will play out yet. Doors will open if you are willing to see them and pursue opportunities to learn.
