re: Anyone else hate their job, but the money is too good to leave it?

I let go from my career (paycheck, rat race) twice. Once unsuccessfully and the latter successfully.

My advice - get into something else while keeping current paycheck until earnings justify making a move

Reality - expect to sustain many months with no personal income to maintain cash... 9 times out of 10 it will require 100% of your time and holding a job will eventually hinder your ability to deliver
