I was in a job I hated a few years ago - the pay was ok, conditions were good (public service) but I was bored out of my brain.

I quit and moved to the country, now we fart around doing random self-employed stuff topped up by Centrelink. And you know what happened?

I stopped biting my nails.
I gained several kilos (I was very very underweight)
With the weight gain, I stopped getting really horrible colds and flus every few weeks
My eyes improved and I needed to get less-strong glasses
I became *happy*.

DO IT

Of course now I'm 9 months pregnant, living in a rural area, unemployed and have 3 degrees to my name that are all pretty much useless in a rural area but hey - I'm happy and healthy. What value do you put on happiness?
