I want to quit so bad. Have you guys ever thought about what you could do for a living instead of this my-eyes-are-glued-to-screen-all-day-AND-NIGHT job?

I’ve pretty much had it too. My first two busy seasons were fine, but this one is horrible. It says something when you’re normally an early riser, but as time goes on can’t get out of bed in the morning because you hate your job.

I think about this all the time, but always come to the decision that there is nothing I could do (without going back to school or studying for some certificate) that would be significantly better and bring in comparable money. Industry does not look fun, the clients are always working late and over the weekend with us all the time. We have more flexibility because if we have a nonnegotiable important something we need to take off for during busy season, worst case someone can step in for us since we are so replaceable. I would quit if I knew what I would actually do after.

I’d do investment banking. So I could do that and not have people whine as much about it.

Lol investment banking is worse but the pay is much better

Yup. Or just what could I do instead of “looking-at-a-screen"
