I have a slight problem. I'm working at a job right now that really drives me up the wall and is a challenge to my sanity. I hate the idea of heading off to work and wonder what will go wrong that day. It's a steady job, in this economy, but it really gets my blood pressure up and I'm on two kinds of
blood pressure meds already. I would have to go and finish of my college degree to start a differen't career. I also got into trouble once at work
and have been referred to anger management.

So my question is, when do you know it is time to leave a job / career for the sake of your health or sanity?

Second, Would you take a job that pays less or work two jobs if it makes you happier?

When you have the next one lined up, you give two weeks notice and then go.  Especially in this economy, you don't just up an quit a job.  You suck in up and gut it out as long as you have to.

I drive a truck for a company pulling containers out of the Port of LA / Long Beach. Spend 10 to 18 hours a week waiting at the
ports without any monetary compensation.

Get the book 'What Color Is Your Parachute 2010' and use it to plan your exit strategy.

Seriously, it is about career change and making wise employment decisions.

It would be far more helpful than comments from random internet jockeys.

I'm trying to figure the same thing out myself.

Can you combine your college education with the waiting?  

On-line course + 10 to 18 hours study time = potential for advancement while remaining employed
