Find something you can do...or go into business for yourself or sell your house and rent somewhere else...
Figure out your options..and go from there...

I used to be a mechanic. To go to trade school and work through the lower paying years of my apprenticeship, I bartended. When I got my licence and made a really good wage, doing a job my girlfriend (at the time, soon to be my wife, now ex wife) was proud to tell everyone I had and a job I was proud to say I had, I decided I liked bartending more and left it for that. I used to make $24/H, owned my own house, had a great car I payed cash for and went on a vacation somewhere around the world once a year. Now, I make $8/H, can only afford to eat a can of beans every other night, live in my grandfather's sail boat and own nothing. Was it worth it? I don't really know.

If you have no time to go to school and you can't sell your house and rent a cheaper place, then you are stuck. Most people just say they can't do these things because they would be very hard, or they have set artificial "standard of living" minimums for their family.
In reality, that the difficulties caused by going to school or downgarding your standard of living temporarily is the price you will have to pay to make youself successful. Good luck.
If you are good at math and physically fit, you should consider doing electrical work (like climbing poles, etc...) They need people badly, and pay extremely well. I heard like 80% of all electrical workers will retire in the next 8 years, so you could make LOTS of money off this shortage. Training is required and yoiu have to be good at math and have a high-school diploma. Good luck.

If you are serious about the change in your life, then you will have to MAKE the time to go to night school. It is hard to believe that your work schedule is such that you don't have a few free hours during the day or night to go to school. If you want it bad enough, you will find the time and travel the hard path to your new career. No one will tell you it will be easy - it won't.
Beyond that, you will have to work your way up from a ground level position in a new field and take the salary cut that will come with it.

Is it possible to go to night school? Check into places like Heald college or one of those other legit one to two year training for jobs.
Many of those places have night or after work classes. If you do switch jobs, make sure you have enough to pay at least two months mortgage so you do not get behind on your house payments and other bills.

I have had a lot of luck with monster and workopolis (online sites).
You can probably switch jobs seamlessly!
If you need education to further your training, you could always try an online course or nightschool!

you probally should speak with your manager first
then if he tells you that it would be okay
then you could then leave
because you dont want anybody to say that you quit the job
that would look bad for the new carrer you are tryin to get into

All those guys are wrong post your resume on "Yahoo hot jobs" when there's trouble don't drop your hopes on yahoo. Under then blue bar on the very top you will see a link "Post your resume" click it and type in your resume. Allow 24 hours for a response.
