I think many (most?) of us feel burned out at work at times.

I guess the question is, how realistic is it to switch jobs/careers, and what sacrifice(s) are you willing to make?

Most of us have responsibilities to family that preclude a big pay cut, and try to soldier on at work, while deriving pleasure elsewhere.

But if one is truly miserable at work, that has a cost to self and family as well.

So... no easy answers, I think.
