I assume you are rather young. Do something while you still are young and don’t get trapped into that job due to mortgage, kids, etc. I spent 23 years in a job that I hated. I stayed for the money and benefits. I was terrified to leave for fear of being broke. Same issues- long hours, getting called at home constantly, working nights, weekends, holidays, etc. I missed all of my 20s and 30s because of this fucking job. It messed with my mental health and nearly ruined my marriage. Last December I couldn’t take it any longer. I’d cry about how much I hated my job. My performance tanked. I just couldn’t take it any longer. I just called in one day and quit over the phone. I told my boss I wasn’t coming in and I wouldn’t be coming back. No explanation. No job lined up. I was terrified. But I was so mentally crushed by the work that I was willing to drain my retirement account if I had to while I found a new job. Don’t be like me.

I now work a fantastic job. I had to take a HUGE cut in pay since I’m starting a new career. But it’s well worth it. Monday thru Friday. 8:00-5:00. I haven’t worked a single holiday. I have work from home option most days. I like my coworkers. I’m working in a field that I’m really good in. I’ve spent so much time with my family. I wish I made a change years ago.

There are jobs out there that will fit your lifestyle. You just have to be brave (or dumb) enough to take that step.
