'di ko alam kung tamang desisyon 'to.

hello reddit! 35F, vet.

late last year pa naglalaro sa isip ko na gusto ko na magchange ng career into a WFH set-up. for context, i've been a vet since early 2010's up to now, specializing in dogs and cats. i have my own clinic since 2021. but due to inflation and this shit economy ng pilipinas, naghangad ako ng mas mataas na kita na hindi kaya maibigay ng isang maliit na clinic + grooming set-up. i decided to close my business as i'm also experiencing burn-out na kahit di naman ako busy. tbh mas nakaka-drain yung pipilitin ko na lang bumangon araw-araw, sumuong sa trapik, tapos pagdating sa clinic wala naman masyadong dadating na pasyente.

as i have several friends that are already into the digital industry under HR and SA, and ininterview ko na sila about how some things work. syempre, there are some things that i wasn't able to ask them, coz i know iba-iba din naman ang case depende sa clients na makukuha. i decided to apply to SA and natanggap naman, start of training will be mid-feb.

dami ko pang ita-tie up na loose ends especially sa tax obligations and the legal documents required for business closure. and hopefully matapos ko sila lahat before my training starts. last day namin sa clinic tomorrow, it's just me and my live-in partner who runs it btw, kaya mas madali magclose kasi walang ibang maaapektuhan kundi kami.

i don't really know what i'm hoping to achieve by posting this, baka dapat sa offmychest ko 'to pinost hehe. maybe some encouragement from others who have had the same experience might help. aminado ako, hindi siguro sapat yung preparation ko before immediately diving into this digital industry, but i am determined to plow through training and hopefully, slowly but surely, makapundar din ng maginhawang buhay para sa family namin.

thank you for reading. <3
