JZ , this time last year I was feeling just like you, I hated my job. I was in a rut and burned out. I took a drastic plunge and quit my well paying job and took a gig at a bike shop, my pay was cut in more than half but I haven't been happier since I was a kid, everday I get to play with what I like and hang out with folks that have the same interests....

Thats kinda what i was thinking about doing... either that or starting my own shop... that would take a lot of money and time though...

I can't give up my well paying job. I hate it more often than not, but I find ways to make it worth while. I find drinking helps.
