the time you have reached the point where you should evaluate what it is you want and why.

More often then not, if you give yourself the chance to think about it, and remember all the reasons you started down this path to begin with, you will discover that you love what you do. If you really don't want your current career any more because you dream of something else instead, spend your time working toward that goal, after work hours. Get the education you'll need and ease yourself into the new career. Have a chance to wet your feet first, long before taking the plunge. Be prepared, and act when you are ready and when you feel certain you will not regret the choice you made.

There are many times we are tempted to give up on the job we currently have and sometimes the reasons are completely legitimate. Sometimes the choice you make will be to take a different job which is perfectly acceptable. Just make sure you don't step out of one bad situation right into something just as bad (or worse).

The most important thing is to take the time to decide what it is making you unhappy, what it is you truly want, and what options you have to get it. These sorts of decisions should always be made with a clear head not an emotional heart. When you know what it is that will make you happy, go for it!
