Reckon sooner or later all rational people get this thought bouncing around their heads.
Most do nothing about it.
Some try something else, find that is just as dull and pays peanuts and come running back (chap I know bought bar in spain with in-laws, he was back 6 months later and £50k lighter....). Respect to anyone at least trying to do something else !
Many keep going till they have acquired so many commitments, house, family, car, lifestyle that it just isn't an option to bail.
That would be me but I am furiously stashing some of the spare cash to give me options down the line.
Good luck all...Comment

Milton.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I think you can press continue for it to try on A4 or whatever is available.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment
