I left my career of 11 years because I was miserable. Crazy long hours, never home for holidays and with the most childish miserable humans on the face of this planet.
Learned a skill, started my own company which was successful off the get go but I was in over my head and didn't really like the work. It was a good transition medium. Granted I'm 35 but I saved enough to cover bills for a couple of years, sold my business and I'm in school for medical imaging. I love the work, patient interaction and technology behind it all. I'm being recruited by multiple hospitals and even the school to teach after I graduate.
Who would have thought? I'm fortunate that between my wife and I, we started saving and investing early so we can do what we like and not worry a LOT about money since we live well within our means.
