Your ability to go work in your trade in NZ or maybe anywhere else in the world is pretty bomb, maybe you just need to change up your scenery?

I'm probably completely ignorant to what I have, and the opportunities I have had. Your probably right on the change of scenery.
Maybe it also has to do with hobbies after work. I tend to surf 2-3-4 times a week in NZ. Whereas I'm only going out 1-2 times a week for a bike ride here, and a night cruise 1-2 other days.
Happy life outside of work = better life at work?

i changed a few times while still using my education to help secure the job. biggest switch was my 1st jump, but my subsequent ones were not as big a deviation. i try to change while utilizing my foundation of education/exp so it's less of a shock on my life.

Office is....... Probably not for me, I did 50% field, 50% office about 9 years ago, and the office was just sooooo slooowww. We have a position in the office where I could be service manager, but I just don't know if I can handle the office pace at my age. I think I need another 10-20 years before hitting the chair

yeah yeah money is better now, but its not always about money.

The heart is grey...... Lol, doesnt know what it wants. Kinda like having a good girl at home, but you keep seeing those azn babes online
You are right, the idea of a new job may sound good, but the grass may also be grey once I get in there.

This is also high on the thought process, like badhobz said, it's hard to leave the high income. Then again, I have a friend that went from 150k job to working at a brewery for 65k/yr, and loves it. I'm assuming he has stacks in the bank account so it does not worry him.

Facts.... once again, when you have that income, it's tough to go to no income, and mystery income after graduation.
