In your 3 jobs, was the work the same or different? I mean, was it all computer stuff or did you change it up with ditchdigging?

  The same, software. Can't really afford to take the massive paycut that comes from starting a new career now. I actually did it once ~15 years ago. Left software due to burn out and took a 50% paycut. All my stress disappeared. White collar non sales jobs are pretty easy coming from a software background if you have some complementary people skills. The complexity is much lower so it's easier to shine. Was great for a few years then decided to have kids so I needed more $ and went back to software. The stress had just been waiting for me the whole time :)

    That would explain why the burnout persisted over the next jobs. It was the same work.

      yup, no real way to avoid it though
