What would you do...work at a job that pays well-ish, but that you hate, or work for less money, but in a position that makes you happier? It's hard to put into words just how miserable I was at my last job ~ when I quit, it felt like I had escaped from prison. Of course I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find another job, but I really don't think I would have changed my mind had I known. It's been great being off and I've gotten a lot of little stuff done around the house since I have all this free time, but I either need to win the lottery or find a job soon.I've already interviewed at a couple of places and have a final interview at one of them this Thursday, so I guess things are looking up. I know that great job is still lurking out there somewhere. I just have to find it now. I'll miss being a housewife, though. I'm hoping a winning lottery ticket is also lurking in the nearby area.
School starts again tomorrow night. This quarter I'll have Microbiology on Wednesdays and Intro to Windows for five weeks on Thursdays. The Windows class should be an easy A ~ it's one of those required classes every student has to take. Yawn. Hopefully Micro will be interesting and not too difficult.

Hands down, less money and more happiness. And even better than that? Keep looking (like you are doing by going to school) until you find one with lots of money AND lots of happiness.
My answer to your query is the latter. I left my software developer's job eight years ago to be a full time massage therapist. I have lots more free time, sometimes too much, but am tremendously happier and more personally satisfied. I also look at least ten years younger.
