Have you considered saving up enough money to quit and give yourself 3-6 months to find a job you enjoy?
- sireat 11y agoSomehow it seems wrong to be saving 6 month salary just to get into another job (even if you enjoy it). My Euro-biased perspective is for the job to be something that you don't actively hate doing. The fun stuff(hobbies, family, etc) can be done outside of that.
- oskarth 11y agoFor what it's worth, I too am European (Swedish). I think whatever works, well, works - If OP is fine doing what they are doing, there's no problem really. However, a lot of people seem to be (a) afraid of quitting jobs they hate (b) bad at saving money. Learning to quit a job you hate and to save money are both vey useful skills on their own. In reality, it might just take a few weeks of intense effort to find a new job in a different field - but it's always good to have a buffer, especially if you want to re-skill to a completely different field.
