I know some car salesguys, and even when they make $80K+ they are miserable.

You're tied to work because the longer you work (ie. texting with potential clients off hours, etc.) the better your chance for a sale, and like someone said, there is a bit of a personal aspect to it. You have to bite your tongue when the 25 year old with $20k negative equity is rolling that into a new BMW, and you have to tell families their financing was denied. And if you end up working for a shitty dealership you have to sell your own soul.

Is there any way to make your current work more interesting for you? Talk to your boss, after 9 years of solid work you should have a pretty good relationship with him/her, just be honest. If I were your boss I'd do what I can to try and keep you on board.

Also...shit, I'd give up having grandparents coming to babysit for $250K...lucky bastard.
