Qualified accountant, well paid and my job is destroying me, pleas help

[Lollysuns]

I can't take it anymore. I want to do something with my life that's meaningful. I'm only qualified in accountancy and have no money to re train.

I can't face more of this. Is there a way out?

Could you become a school bursar?
My DH is trapped in a career that bores him to death and it saddens me to see him using up his life like this- could you make a drastic change and trust that it will all work out?

For me Lolly I tried and considered every sideways step mentioned here, from school bursarship to tutoring to working in industry to any kind of "strategy consultancy". The point was, I did not want to be anywhere near accoutancy. I was to figures what vegans were to the meat industry. I was like a vegan that trained as butcher and people told me to go into meatpacking or chicken sandwich making, but none of them worked for me. I just wanted out. There is a PhD waiting to be written somewhere about the pressure on graduates to "achieve" and "persist" in the kinds of jobs which psychologically kill you. Anyway, Xmas over I am DM able if you want
