The fact is 90% of people going to work don't like the job. Remember the saying find something you really like and will never have to go to work a day in your life. I'm sure you've heard a number of rag to riches story but 1 that come to mind is Myer -Robinson. The man started this company when he was 62 and was a millionare by 67. He used the  Ross Perot motto " find a void and fill it" I was in sales my entire career and I got tired of depending on the back office for support. I mean I could bring the business in but we would lose it out the backdoor. I decided to head into a entire diffrent industry "transportation" or some call logistics . They took a look at my resume and said I would be great at sales. I told them no more traveling, knocking on doors, cold calling what else do you have?   Dispatcher which pays 1/3 of what they were offering as a sales rmgr. I took the pay cut with 4 days on 3 off. Within six months 2 promotions and a nice raise. It was'nt all me I just happen to take a chance at the right time. Let me add you're still a young man with plenty of upside so take a chance and don't look back. My 2 Good Luck
