    I have just recently done exactly that. I am now earning a third p/hour of what i was in my previous job but I am no longer bored out of my brain. Instead I am learning something new each day and can see so many options opening up!

    I have to say though that I studied for 2 years for thsi new career and while I did that we paid off as much debt as we could possibly pay off with my earnings from the higher earning job. Good luck whatever you end up doing!

    Yup - I highly recommend it!

    I took a 50% drop in my income when I went from salesperson to police officer, but now with working my way back up the ranks I'm almost back to where I used to be $$$ wise - and I absolutely LOVE the role which I do now. Geez, I'd actually do my job for free!
