So what exactly are you guys telling the OP?
He's ready to hang up his headset.
"To each his own?"
"Stick with it, and get what you can out of it, better times ahead"?
"Get out now - it's a loosing game"?
Perfect example of the advisory value a forum has. Here we are arguing the industry, and it's people - but what do we tell the guy that is looking for advise and opinion?
