[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 383597, member: 12912"] [b]~.[/b] Interesting story! Long story short, I was working in computer repair/network stuff from 20-22 y/o making a good 24/hr before I started working at UPS. The work was tedious and the travel was extensive. I started working at UPS part-time to get benefits ( they were expensive working for a small co) and after 2 years quit the job I had. Now I'm a 22.3 after 7 years with the company, 5 part time. We took opposite paths I guess. I suggest you do whatever makes you happy. Life is too short to miss opportunities and have regrets. The main problem is you're making fine money considering the talent and brains the job(s) entails. If you're really intelligent and have talent, plus you are really at "the breaking point" - it's probably better you seek alternate paths. You're only 27 years old, too. It's not like you're 45 and trying to change paths, which is fine as well, but you're still at an age where you're developing yourself and your skills. Do what makes you happy. The money and success will come with time and work, just like it did with UPS. I only stuck with this work because it allows me to go home at night and live my life and do what I want to do while making a living. I'm not on call 24/7, don't have paperwork at home, don't have to travel 100 miles a day. i'm a private music instructor and having weekends off is perfect! Anyway, if you felt you had to post what you did, then you're probably unhappy and should figure out what you REALLY want to do with your life! [/QUOTE]
