I feel for you (and your husband!) and I think sometimes things like this have to happen for something better (maybe not more or as much money) to come along.

And I can relate to your situation. My hubby is a laborer for my dad's company- good money, stable, but very difficult, very hot, and is pretty much grunt work. With the heatwave, he's been extremely hot and overwhelmed and is thinking about what else is out there. Although I would be upset if he just quit, I think it would be great if he found something that suits him better, even if it meant a little less money.

Good luck to you and your husband during this stressful time!
