So after 19years in this industry (YES years!) I cant take it any more.
Evan though Im pulling down more $ than ever before Im not sure its worth it.
Too much Travel, Stress, Politics, Responsibility... just too much.
Family has suffered, health has suffered waist-line has suffered,
hair-line has suffered...too much suffering.
Im ready to go back to diggin ditches and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif)
Id probably already have done it if it wasnt for the family responsibilities.

OK Whine over.

Im sure others of you have dealt with professional burn out.

I'm with you! I'm looking now! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Too much work, not enough fun. My wife has a very high paying job. She has more time for the family than she's ever had. Me on the other hand... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) My oldest son and his girl friend are in collage, my youngest in in 11th grade. All are doing well. If I don't find something else by spring I may just quit anyway. Life is too short for this type of madness.

Edit: 4 top long term property claims reps. quit last fall all within a two week time period. We were short handed before they quit. The company hasn't replaced them much less added people we were short to begin with. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
