[quote=Anonymous]100% don’t let the golden cage stifle your potential. I don’t think you will regret trying to find something that truly makes you happy.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup, I’m breadwinner.  My spouse is in unstable field (startups) who has gone through layoffs.  We have fully funded college accounts for 2kids for private college, 400k mortgage at 3.5 percent, and decent but not amazing retirement savings. I’m mid 40s, have had long stints at every job, and excellent academic credentials and honors (think like Rhodes type category of education and achievements). Grew up very middle class (crappy public school where most of clsss doesn’t move on to a 4 year college) until I left for college)[/quote]

Sounds like you have plenty of reserve to take a big hit and a big risk to your income. Your job situation is demoralizing. I can sympathize as a government employee at the top of the scale with no promotion potential, and like you I feel stuck and underutilized. Can you imagine spending the rest of your career like this?  Life is too short to spend time working at something that doesn’t fulfill you in all the right ways. [/quote][/quote]
