Simple job or well paid career? (self.simpleliving)

I have two options now. Working in a simple not well paid job i am trained in or continue working in IT. I would leave coding and switching to Helpdesk in IT since I burned out as a programmer. I believe the tech industry propaganda brought me to programming so I left the simple job I'm thinking going back to again.

I think that is really good advice. I liked coding, but I became more and more overwhelmed. So maybe it's time for a break. And you're right, I can go back. Thank you!

I know the feeling of getting overwhelmed (and burning out)! Hopefully you can find enjoyment on your free time again soon and live a little, you'll come out much healthier and with a sharper mind!
