If a job pays well (around 60k/year) & ur good at it, but its boring and irratating would u switch ur career?

Question

I had to abbreviate some words becase of space restrictions

Answer 1

No. Unless it's affecting your physcal or mental health I would stick with it. You are lucky to have a job that pays so well. If you are not happy with the company just switch companies, maybe that would help.

Answer 2

Not if switching takes four more years of education and four more years of establishing yourself, and your current situation would put you in serious debt.

I'd switch if you had a double major or an easy way to certify yourself BEFORE quitting your current job and testing the waters before the actual switch.

Sometimes boredom and irritation occurs because you are not trying to advance yourself in your given field and the irritation stems from staying at one employment for too long. Refresh yourself by interviewing around for similar jobs. You might find a better paying job with people you actually get along much more easier with.

Don't underestimate the importance of money, financial security and its attachment to happiness and self worth.

Answer 3

Yes, in a heartbeat! Life is too short to spend any bit of it bored and irritated! If you're qualified and capable of pulling in 60k, you shouldn't have to resort to waiting on tables (unless you love doing that!) to pay your bills.
Consider this: "If you ever get a single wish from a genie, wish that what you know you should do and what you really have fun doing become one and the same. Whatever grand vision you have...becomes attainable there."
I truly believe you need to love what you're doing, regardless of the money.
Good luck!

Answer 4

Money at the end of the day is not everything, figure out what you want to do and go for it. There is no point doing something that you are not happy with, we work to long for this to happen

Answer 5

You described me exactly. And, although it was a restructuring that forced me out, I'm glad it did. I'm a Mortgage Broker now and couldn't be happier.

Life's too short. Figure out what you like and do it. (But, it's gotta make you money so sitting in front of the TV won't do it, even if you like it.)

Answer 6

Yes cos 60K a year isn't much, that and why do something you don't like??

Answer 7

In a New York second. Do something you enjoy and something that will hold your interest.

Answer 8

yes,especially if you're experienced.Work is something you must do all your life,so my advice is find what you love doing and go for it with all you got!
