I've quit twice in my life
1) I used to be a guy that designed and commissioned factory control systems
2) I used to be a guy that developed software for mobile telecom network operators.
I quit because I needed to grow.
I could never have got my MBA if I had continued in my first job, or become a management consultant if I stayed in my second job... Thank goodness I did both.

Maybe you might just change your life?
