You're probably kidding with this, but that is a really good playlist. Has 3 of my favorite bands
I was successful but unhappy so I changed careers in my mid-40s. Best thing I ever did. New career paid a lot less but quality of life skyrocketed and stress plumetted. Wife took one for the team and went back to work full-time to allow me to switch careers; I owe her big time for that and whenever we are in a fight she reminds me of that fact :-/Going back to school was the best thing I ever did as far as my professional career goes.
I ended up (staying) in a line of work that was completely different from what I originally went to school for. But i did realize I enjoyed what I did, but had a hard time seeing a future in it. I went back again, and I don’t know how old you are, but to redo it in your later in my twenties was weird at first. In the end I got a good job while still doing my degree that I currently hold a few positions at and got a much clearer vision of my career path.
it got me into a position I was not only appreciated more as an individual, but also compensation wise.
do it. Kelpcutter gave the best advice I could imagine. That’s what kept me going when I was working a 60hr job and going to school at night, getting home at 2am for three years.
..... and whenever we are in a fight she reminds me of that fact :-/
Similar for me. When I finally finished my degree my career took off. I was riding the tech bubble, making big $$$ and working long hours. It was great for the ego but didn't leave room for family or fun. I took a serious reduction in pay for a 9-5 job and got my life back. It was supposed to be temporary, but ended up being a career. Sometimes I missed the fast pace and excitement, but looking back it was the best decision I could have made.I was successful but unhappy so I changed careers in my mid-40s. Best thing I ever did.
