Title: I&#x27;ve been working for over 8 years in support&#x2F;consulting roles. I&#x27;ve never found any of the jobs bearable. I really like web development but I can&#x27;t get anyone to take a chance on me even at half of my current salary. I don&#x27;t really have time to do side projects and build up a decent portfolio so I understand why people are skeptical. Any other type jobs I apply for I&#x27;m told that I&#x27;m not qualified or I need a bachelors degree to even be considered.<p>Since I&#x27;ve hated life for the last 8 years I&#x27;ve been thinking about making a drastic change like leaving tech to go work construction or something. Basically my life is already office space so why not? It made Peter Gibbons happy...<p>Do you know anyone who has been in this position that has left tech completely and was better off (at least happier) because of it?
