Nearly 27 and am wondering what's the point of doing a job I dislike? It's either extremely busy or deathly quiet and after nearly 7 years I'm wondering is the stress worth it as my health tends to suffer when it gets very hectic.
No debts, no responsibilities so I could just leave but I don't know what else interests me. I'm stuck in a rut.

What do you do?
I'm in print management, sales and production. The industry is dying a slow death and clients are unwilling to spend any money on print any more. The deadlines can also be absolutely ridiculous and companies are very slow at paying. To summarise I spend the vast bulk of my day chasing work, then chasing approval, and then chasing payment.

I would find no satisfaction in that role, which is why I prfer to be the other side of the desk selling the adverts!

I guess the question is: is the money good considering your age, experience and skill-set? If not, and you reckon you can get better pay for a job you'd enjoy just as much, then get out.No debts, no responsibilities so I could just leave but I don't know what else interests me. I'm stuck in a rut.
