Or I'd say even take the risk of moving if you're in a bad area for jobs. At least after you get some good experience with a decent job you could land a remote gig that pays well and go back to be near your family and whatnot... because it's hard to hit the gym and have nice hobbies when you're living paycheck to paycheck with no opportunities.
I just quit my job and put in my two weeks. Driving an hour to and from work for ten years and averaging between 50 and 70 hours a week can really mess you up. Especially if you have a family. My drinking got out of control and so did my relationship with my wife. I thought maybe it was the drinking and have now been sober for 6 months. It was the job. So I quit, and except for being nervous on what the future holds at the moment I do have hope that I will get something soon. I will say that I feel so much better, like a weight has been lifted.The money can be good but sometimes the way you get it can really make you miserable. The OP post hit home and I can understand it. Made my day so much better and gives me hope.

Unless youre in the military. Then youre replacelable but also not allowed to leave.
