It takes courage to move on from something that has become the norm. Although I left my job in Washington for personal reasons, for awhile I questioned that decision. It wasn't because I felt I couldn't find something else, it was because it was a way of life for so long. Eventually it led to my dream job, meaning I had a desire to do, but felt it a fantasy I couldn't achieve. I hope you find the job of your dreams as well.

"There's riches in niches".
"What you lose on the grapes, you can make on the bananas".
