Hello ! if I were you I am going to resign from this job and take a break at the moment. Personally even if this job is high paying and I am not comfortable physically and most importantly emotionally I am going to quit. This had happen to me before,I am dreaded to get up and go to work, If I am at work, I wish that time would just fly so I can go home. Result is I am not able to perform well. So I decided that before anything would go seriously out of hand, to quit my job. Because the more I tried to love the job again, the more I fail and lose concentration. I am afraid that I might get reprimanded or even terminated because of my actions. So my advice to you is to take a break :)

People change careers all the time. It doesn't matter how old you are or how long you've had your job. First I would make a list of things you think you want to do, and then make a list of what you need to do to pursue those careers. Do you need to go back to school, get some business cards and resumès made up? Make a list of how much this is going to cost and decide what path you want to pursue. Good luck and don't decide what you want to do exclusively based on money, as it's probably how you got into this situation in the first place.

Hi elizabeth2007 , why suddenly you don't like this job anymore? there must be a reason about this, you don't like how your bos treat you? or they pay you in a low salary? Because sometime i feel that the grass at people houses are more greener than mine.

hi! take a break from work, i think you are just stress out or bored to your work. have a vacation, as in a long vacation to refresh yourself and recharge your energy. then if after a vacation you are still feeling like that, i think its really time to change your career, discover yourself, maybe you've got an entrepreneurial side to discover. good luck!

I guess if you don’t enjoy what you're doing now it's time for a change. you should try finding a new job or something, maybe what you need is a change of environment. what's important is that you enjoy your work and the things you do, and that you're happy with your job and the company. Good luck and all the best! :)

in my opinion, we work to earn money then feed ourselves. if life is not strait for you, my advice it to choose what you are interest in. at your age, u should go for something different.

My advice is to find a job that suits your personality and interest. To have a successful career, you need to enjoy what you are doing, and there should be proper incentives. If you are not motivated to work in that industry, there are other available jobs suited for you.
