At first I read “worried I had no goats.”
That was fun.
I did the same thing. I became a teacher, even though it totally went against my personality (I’m not a disciplinarian.)
Didn’t take me long to burn out, get miserable, get depressed, get sick, then finally get gone.
Like you, I have a creative leaning. I like to write.
Right now, I’m waiting tables and I’m in an M.F.A. program. I’m incredibly, incredibly poor. My financial situation is very unsteady, and a source of constant stress.
You have to weigh your options, but, probably it will become worth your sanity to get out of your current job. Just be fully aware of what you’re doing, and try not to make any rash decisions or completely burn up any bridges.
