Be very careful about such a career transition. Grass always seems greener on the other side. You don't realize what you have until you lose it. Sure there are job related problems in IT but they are nothing compared to other other industry jobs especially the ones that pay minimum wage. Most minimum wage jobs are physically demanding and will drain the hell out of you. Any job that requires dealing with general public is very taxing and offers virtually no flexibility in work hours. You will be more burnt out than in IT. I suggest you take up hobbies in free time (sports, musical instrument etc). Do things that you like and then you will not feel burnt out but you would enjoy the hobbies as well as work. You will also realize that work is not everything. If you view work as something that enables you to do other things in free time you wouldn't mind it so much. And IT is particularly good at that - good salaries, good working conditions, reasonable work hours. Do not underestimate what you have.
