I‘m thinking of ditching my very safe and very well paid office job with the option to work from home for a job in the field where I drive around and inspect buildings. Taxes included I’d get a 300€ paycut but would gain the ability to get paid for overtime, which I do not have at the moment. Also, due to austerity measures I have no chance of ever getting into a higher position at my current job.
I don’t know maybe I just want the validation of something I’ll do anyway, maybe I want to get shown what makes my current job better than the might-be one.
Thats because you dont have savings. If you did, you would feel like you could actually work less and choose more fulfilling work instead of sucking the corporate tit until you retire.
If you are young reading this, start saving money so you can get the hell out while you still have some life left in you.
