I think I'm on a path to quitting my job come spring/summer. It seems like a terrible idea, but I'm slowly losing my sanity. It'll be 7 years when I quit. My parents need a smaller home, I'll be moving with them. If they can afford a smaller place on their own, and it means I can find something different? I think I'm going to do it.
Worst case scenario, I take whatever jobs I can find and just make a bit to help out. Or maybe waste money and go back to school for something that doesn't pan out the way I thought it would again, lol.
I still have no idea what I'm going to do. It's scary to quit normally. Never mind during such unstable times in the world. But I'm afraid that if I don't do it soon, I'll never do it and end up a wage slave to this company forever. Maybe I'm nutty, and this is just a way my brain is helping me cope. Knowing there's a way out and a light at the end of the tunnel. I have no idea, really, but I know this idea sounds extremely foolish.
I'm terrified I won't be able to find something, considering I've casually looked on and off and haven't found anything that really clicks based on this job. But I'm willing to change careers so maybe I can find something else.
Hoping the best for you and yours.
Thank you! I appreciate you Remington. You always have a kind word or thought to share.
