I used to say this, too. I stopped saying it, because it’s CLEARLY not true. You’re a DAILY poster on this forum. And I come on here almost daily as well. This forum isn’t “the job”, but it’s certainly work related.

Outside of our current situation, I still think that I have a great job. It pays well, I have a flexible schedule, far more vacation than most people, and a I get lots of days off. Another huge perk is that I never take work home with me. That is why I like my job, but after 20,000 hours, it is just an ends to a means now. If I had the winning lottery ticket, I’d never fly again.

“What can I do with the skill set I have that makes the most money” was what did it for me.

Agreed. The job does nothing for me and I really don't even enjoy flying the airplane at all. Takeoff, cruise, and land. It gets pretty boring to be honest. The last thing I want on my day off is more aviation. I make good use of that time relaxing or trying to improve myself.

Sounds like time to step away for a little while and try a second career. Never been a better time to do it.
