Age 49. Career change: technical writer to elementary school teacher. 1/3 the money, exhausting work, but it was the right thing to do.
Your life, as you live it, is nothing but memories. Memories and experience that you add to your being and which make your existence richer. I looked back on the last three years of my job and found almost nothing worth remembering. Whole months were blank. I almost suffered from sensory deprivation. In my new job, hard though it is, I find something new worth remembering every day. I've lived more in the last year than in the previous 10 years, at least on the job. Not everything that happens is fun, but even the worst days I have beat the numb and lifeless existence I had in CorporateLand.
