What To Do If You Hate Your Job
The Wall Street Journal had an article about a person who quit her high paying job after 15 years and is starting a new career from scratch.

However if you can’t figure out what you want to do with your life, I recommend picking up Life’s a Bitch and Then You Change Careers : 9 Steps to Get Out of Your Funk and On to Your Future

I am a pharmacist and make good money. Problem is my job sucks!!
I am thinking of quitting too. Don’t care if I make less. I just need to get a job that I enjoy and actually inspires me!

i think most people find their work boring after a certain number of years. you start to look for something more challenging or new.
in my case, i find that as soon as i become good at something, my interest in it dwindles.

My experience has been that you can’t cling to security AND figure out how to leave your job at the same time. Some amount of leaping into the unknown is involved. How much is your happiness worth? (I wrote a blog for college students on this topic too… http://christinekane.com/blog/?p=23 I don’t know how to do hyperlinks. sorry! Anyway, great post! Thanks!
