It's been nearly 3 years since I quit my soul-crushing mindless cubicle job (not to say all cubicle jobs are soul-crushing, but mine sure was).

Since then, things have been scary...less stable, for sure...but I'm leading a much, much more rewarding life. Despite some of the disorder, the differnece in how I feel about myself and my life made the change worth it a million times over.

Congratulations on having the courage to do something so hard. Good luck to you with your new career.
