Not sure if this is applicable to many people who posted. But I go through terrible mood swings. Yesterday was a good day, but I still focus on the losers more than the profits I took.
But here is the the thing. When I waited tables I went through periods where I hated it. When I sold insurance there were highs and lows, depending on sales. When I did tax work and consulting, same thing. When I managed a business office I always felt like I needed to quit. Now I am self employed living the "dream", yet the pressure and the highs and lows are greater than I ever would have expected.
So here is the question for introspection, is that not why many of us are in the position we are in? People who are "satisfied" with their jobs don't "worry" as much. Some are content working 9-5 and doing whatever after work. And there is nothing wrong with that, but many of us don't fit into that bucket, or am I wrong?
I had a date last night, as I'm single again, joy, and when asked what I like to do, my honest answer was work. And it is personal, wether it was cleaning a restroom or doing a millionaire's tax return.
So the my answer to the posted question, is trade if it is what you want to do. Failure is failure, just like any business you may start. But if you are planning on leaving because you think the grass is greener, watch out for the dog poop.
