<prompt> Human: I am 5 years into my Health care IT related career at 2 related full-time jobs and am finding myself mentally drained and unhappy. I have been casually looking at other job opportunities near me, but cannot find anything that is appealing that could still support my lifestyle home owner and family. I make 75,000 right now which covers all of my bills and allows me extra to invest.I would honestly love to go back to waiting tables at a restaurant like I did through college, or some other less stressful career. I would love to give up the 9-5 tedium for something else, but dont really see anything that grabs my attention making a salary of at least 60K. Im sure that these are not unique feelings, and that a lot of people go through this. My problem is that it is starting to affect my personal life and I notice that I am becoming a very negative person. The thought of going back to school to expand on my BS is not very appealing. I would love to start a business, but am not really prepared to do so at this time, nor do I know what I would want to do.I am just looking for advice from people who have been through a cross road and have either stayed at the job they hate, or left to try to find something they enjoy. My biggest fear is giving up the great benefits and pay and regretting it later.  <response>: I spent nearly a decade in jobs that I hated, but for a purpose. I knew where I wanted to be in ten years and I set myself up to get there. I would suggest doing the same. Ask if you have any questions.
