I've been fantasizing about an escape for over a year now but I keep telling myself to stick it out a little longer (because I loved law school so much).
That sounds like me 2 years ago. I ended up quitting, doing some traveling, then going into teaching English. In Cambodia now having the time of my life. The 80% pay cut doesn't look great on paper, but the tradeoff was more than worth it for an infinitely better quality of life.
