I used to love work years ago when I was self employed working on cars but I stayed in it for WAY too long (about 5yrs too long) and got burnt out to the point that even now after being out of it for almost a year I still hait even working on my own cars. But anyway I did finaly get out of it and change fields and am MUCH happier now even if I don't make the money I used too (well not at the end but you get the point).
I used to think $ was everything in the world and it did not if you liked it or not becouse money chould make you enjoy life after work. But now after leaving and seeing the other side I see that being a happier person with less money is a better way too go.
