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. How did you deal with it and what recomendations do you have? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

I feel your pain (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Been at the same place for 20yrs I need 7 more before I can retire from there (age + years of service = 76) I will only be 47 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
Best thing we did was take a 3 week vacation, went to Hawaii (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) for two weeks then came home and did nothing! Made me (us) feel better about work & life. I make sure I take every vacation day I have each year. NO working vacations - leave the cell phone off or just ignor any / all business calls. If that dosen't help then start looking for a new gig. For me since I have a family now it is not so much about how much $$ I make (but it still matters some what), but more about what benefits they have. Good luck |
