Career Change?

[SixShot]

Has anybody made a complete career change? I've been in IT for 20 years and the job is just grinding me down. Insane amounts of stress and you're basically on-call 24/7. It's a pie eating contest where the reward for winning is more pie. Looking at doing something different but was wondering if anyone in the clan has any advice. Do you just grind through the crap or jump ship and do something completely different?

I am a big fan of doing what you love and what makes you happy. But if you jump ship you will have to start over and sometimes that means a pay decrease. But your health and happiness might be worth the pay decrease.

I went from construction to restaurant management practically overnight. At the time the housing market took a shit and I knew I couldn't swing a hammer till retirement. It was the right decision. However, I'm suffering from burnout at my job now and would like to do something else I just haven't found it yet. Ultimately you have to decide what's right for you and making a change could go the wrong way as well. Given your expertise you could always fall back to what you doing now. I'm trying to convince myself that this is where I need to be till I fall over dead. I get paid well and have decent hours for a restaurant manager.

Well I have no fulltime job, But i'm working right now for parttime/fulltime as fish production employee. But I don't think I can do this for my life long. I have been searching for a job in the logistics, Because i was there graduated in that sector

It's hard to do what makes you happy because usually that pays a lot less. I'm in the same boat man. And it's sinking around me. I'm just eating crap until I win the lottery.

Change can be good...positive and fulfilling. I swapped out my job at the beginning of last year, leaving my previous job of 17 years.

Scary and starting from 'scratch but it was the best move I made. Good life balance and my people are provided for and happy.
