Tommorow morning I make my debut in the Property Management field, with an eye on real estate investment in the future. I've been a graphic designer for a little over 8 years, and I realized that I will never make much money there, and I don't want to stare at a computer screen for the rest of my life. Wish me luck! :)

UPDATE: Well, I'm almost three months in so far and I do not regret this move for ONE SECOND.

Good for you. That is also one of my goals. I suppose its harder being an EE but certainly not impossibly.

You're going to find that you enjoy them a LOT more now that they're only a hobby. :D

I'm thinking about going into the EMT/Paramedic field. Staring at a computer all the time at work gets to me. Makes me not want to get on the computer at home, which is sad because I like computer games but never play them anymore for this reason.

Why can't you do both? Try out what you want to do on the side and keep your graphic designer job.

If you don't breath in binary chances are staring at a computer screen for your job isn't for you : ) Don't let denmark be your prison.
