Dear operez14:

Yes, it does sound wise to me. Your job being the only thing in your life making you miserable. Absolutely.

You mentioned in your original post that your job pays well (Payoff #1, I am thinking).

You mentioned you don’t have a college degree (fear you won’t be able to get a good enough job out there without a degree?)

Then there is others’ perceptions of you, your family’s perception (“He has such a good paying job.. He is successful..) and there may be fear about losing that esteem by others.

These three above are for you to consider: are they valid in your mind? If so, each one (and other points that I didn’t think about yet, but you may, and please do) will have to be addressed as part of this quest.
