Hubby switched. He graduated with a degree in Mining Engineering. After little success finding a job in that, he got a job as a soccer coach (pretty far from an engineering job) and LOVED it. He volunteered for a few months to get a foot in the door, but after 6 months, his boss searched out money to pay him and keep him around.

Now? He's a math teacher and a soccer coach. So both his degree and his real passion have come together. He starts classes for his master's degree in September.

Changing careers has been the best thing for him. Yes, it was scary, but it's been worth it for us. It's different for each person though. I hope you find something you enjoy. Whatever it may be.
