Feel a bit trapped, not sure if should leave or

[Dangerblouse]

I'm in my mid forties and I work in hospitality. I'm well paid for what I do but I feel trapped. My bosses (the owners) are super but can occasionally be tricky to work for. They absolutely love me and sing my praises to everyone. I really like them and get on really well with both.
I'm tired tho, I'm physically tired from serving/making drinks/running around all day. I'm tired of team leaving because of the owners constantly changing things and then having to recruit again. I'm tired of being the positive influence on the staff when I'm actually super stressed and feel the same as the staff. The whole industry has changed, lots of things are much more difficult.
I don't enjoy what I do anymore but it's all I know/have ever done. I'm not sure if I am being stupid and I should stay or if I should jump and do something different.
If I do leave, it's going to cause a riot!
I can be a people pleaser so will do anything to avoid the massive confrontation/drama it will create. Any suggestions? Xx

I think if you feel like you fancy a change you should go for it. You're still young enough to retrain in something else. Hospitality is hard and exhausting. I think most people could only do it 100% for a certain period of time. It depends on things like financial responsibilities etc. Can you afford to switch? What else would you like to do? You will have so many transferable skills!

Thank you for saying I'm young enough to retrain. It feels like the opposite! I wouldn't be able to reduce my earnings by much. I'm the main earner.
I have no clue what else I'd like to do. Probably something that doesn't involve working with the public 😆 I think I'd be starting at the bottom of the ladder in any new job (which doesn't bother me ego wise) It's the money that makes me think I should stay where I am.

You can’t stay to please other people. The owners need to take charge and deal with any fallout.

You’re more than young enough to retrain in a completely different career!
And without meaning to be insulting, being mid-40’s, employers might assume you’re past wanting to have any/more children (they cannot outright ask you) so it might make you more favourable in interviews.
Do it.
You’ve got potentially 20+ years of a career left in you, do something you love! x
