Hi PC Pals,

I'm in the process of looking for a new job. I've been consistently working since I was in high school. I have a full time job in finance however it's not my passion. I am "comfortable" because I've had the same job for years but it's not enough compensation wise to help me reach my future goals. I'm also bored. I don't see how I'm helping people and I don't see myself in this industry forever. But if I stay in the industry without a passion for it, I may get a new job that pays more but in the end, still happy. If I go for a complete career change, it would be starting over with less salary and then I wouldn't make any of my goals like buying a house or saving for a wedding. I'm torn. I'm a number cruncher but would love to help people. Anyone have any suggestions on how to find your passion and not go broke in the process ?
