<prompt> Human: I live in Massachusetts and graduated two years ago with a degree in business technology and absolutely loathe my job. I wear a lot of different hats business analyst, developer, QA and feel completely overwhelmed by it all. I am paid well for my ageexperience 65k salary 8k bonus and the company is known for not firing people. Also, it seems like they are open to lateral movements as 8 people have moved from my department to other business units since Ive started.I definitely need some kind of change but I dont know how to go about this. Do I make a lateral move within the company? If I do, my pay probably decreases. Do I get another IT related job at another company? My salary would probably stay the same or increase but Im started to think this career path is just not for me and Id still be miserable. Ive also been thinking about other career paths and one as an academic advisor sort of interests me. There is an opening for an academic advisor at a local community college. However, the pay is only 45-50k and Im not sure if Id even enjoybe ok the work.All I know is that my anxiety and depression that comes along with this job is consuming me and I need some sort of change. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Making money is worthless if you are physically, mentally and spiritually ill. I just quit 20 years of IT for this very reason. I went from making 120k a year to working part time for 13 an hour. The more money I made, the more miserable I became. I sold my house, moved out of the big city to a beautiful small town. Yes the pay takes some serious getting used to, but my expenses are a mere fraction of what they were in the city. Do what you love and arrange your living needs to work with that.
