I have spend 20 years working as an engineer within TV broadcasting, I commute 2hours a day currently and starting to really resent the corporate life, the commute.. the people?
I’ve settled with my partner and we spend our time primarily with our dogs and doing lots of woodland activities and live a fairly healthy life.
I’m 38 now and I’m just about done with my career. I used to love it, all of it, but I’ve gone through nearly 2 full burnouts these past couple of years and don’t think I have it in me to do this career path anymore. I have changed companies, shorted commute, changed workloads.. I’m probably the problem but I don’t have the passion or patience anymore for the industry.
Who has completed changed their careers with little or no skill in another industry? What did you oped for? After 20years I don’t myself grinding away in the corporate world, I’d even considered packing it all in to work somewhere locally on minimum income to support mortgage and bills with little to no savings going forward just to get my sanity back and start appreciating the little things in life again.
Has anyone gone through this and have so insightful advice? What did you do? Did you have any regrets? Are you happier?
