Trading Comfort for Cash: Is It Worth the Burnout?

I've spent 15 years in a comfy IT job—40 hours a week, mostly at home, with 40 paid vacation days. Sounds dreamy, right? Except, lately, I feel like I'm just surfing the web and waiting for the clock to run out. Burnout from boredom is real, and I never thought I'd say that. 😅 Now, I have a shot at something totally different: working in a mining operation on top of a mountain. It's 50 hours a week, 14-hour shifts, all on-site, and only 16 vacation days. The pay is higher, but the schedule is brutal—two days, two nights, then four days off. The work is tough, but at least it's not boring. Still, I'm torn. Is trading comfort for cash and excitement really worth the exhaustion? I need some honest advice—has anyone made a switch like this? What would you do if you were in my boots? 🤔 #CareerChoices #WorkLifeBalance #JobSwitch #JobCareer
