Again, good for you Antikarma! Again, similar story. My wife makes enough to support us while I work towards my new goals. In fact the other day she asked why I hadn't already quit! I told her I couldn't go to school until July anyway and it could take a while to get decent employment so why not keep slugging it out and until everything (well, most things) were in place. I didn't realize you'd have to live so far from your family. I don't know if my wife would've gone for that so you've definitely got a good one! The looking back ten years from now thing is what got me as well. I have trouble going in each day. Ten more years would kill me! I've already wasted enough time working just to get a paycheck. Now I want a paycheck and some job satisfaction too. I don't think big career changes are as uncommon as we tend to think. Heck, people change and what seemed like a good idea ten, even twenty years ago might not work for the person you've grown in to. Change can be good. It keeps us young and alive! Good luck with your new path.
