With all this great advice, I'd hope that someone here can recognize the trouble signs and quit or switch careers before they get to the burnout level.

I hate my current job. I had high hopes for a while, but I don't believe any of the promises made will ever come to fruition. When I didn't know what the hell I was doing and didn't seem to be very busy, I was always ahead of my quota. Now I know what I'm doing, am crazy busy and fall farther behind my quota every month. In May, out of 300 sales people, not a single one was at 100% of goal. I've stopped caring. This is not a career to me and I know I won't be working here a year from now. Working from home 2500 miles away from my boss has made my days more palatable, but it still sucks. I look at this job as grocery money and it got me to Arizona with a steady paycheck. That's it. And I really don't feel too guilty about it.
