No job is worth your health.

I thought I had it made, working for myself in IT, working my own schedule (for the most part), choosing my own clients, and getting good money for it.

Now I'm working corporate since December 1st, one of probably 400 people in our location, but not "just a number". I literally know by name probably half of the employees and what they do, and they likewise recognize me. I am the "front line" support for all tech issues from corporate VP and CFO through mobile sales force through call center ops. It's a lot of job, some days I feel that 20 years of experience is not enough to prepare for this position, and most every day brings a new challenge. There is good medical, dental and vision coverage at reasonable employee contribution rates, and 5% match on 401K capped at $3K.

I replaced three techs, one could not handle the job and was let go but the other two were moved to other call centers. Working 50 to 60 hours on salary is the norm, and I go home tired. But it's good work, it's honest work, the people are for the most part great, and my IT teammates are the best. Oh, and days off are no problem at all, and 6 personal and 10 vacation days a year to start make it even nicer. I am working on proving "work at home" for IT, there is very little I cannot do remotely.

If you dread getting up and going to work in the morning, then your job will eventually kill you. Either change the job, or your outlook on it.
