My job doesn't define me, but being a professional and an optimist does. If I had to hang up my current job, I would pursue another field with the intent to be as professional and HAPPY as possible. The minute I can't look positively on my professional situation is the minute I walk away, simple as that. Discontent and misery takes an intangible toll on one's life and social relationships. I've found that the happier I am with my job, the better I treat myself and others.
I've entertained the thought of enduring a post-bac and going through a physician's assistant program, but the coursework does not interest me (which I'm assuming is a huge red flag). I'd love to "help people," but I feel that there are a million ways of doing so, with medicine certainly being one way, but not the only way. Every facet of aviation and law enforcement has kept me glued, so I'll stick with that for now.
