I have a professional job right now which pays well. But I hate my job as many clients are unreasonable in my profession. I really want to quit my job as I drag to my job daily. I have two little kids at home, and a wife going to college. I have to maintain a relatively good income to support them. Any jobs in any fields pay well for a new starter? I am brainstorming now. Thank you. John

Your in a delicate situation.......your the sole breadwinner and if the next job should not work out are you covered? Unless you suspect your about to be fired/laid off/biz is downsizing etc etc.............keep "dragging" BUT at the same time do your own private search for a job and let others outside your job atmosphere your looking. Another thought, anytime you deal with the public/work in an office it's a politics game...........ever give the thought of jobs where it takes you out of this atmosphere? some of the happiest people i know have limited or no exposure to people

Pretty much depends on what you consider "good pay". If you are talking about 75k+, pretty much nothing.

I don't mind to make a little money in the beginning as long as the feild has the potential. I may continue dragging on my jobs while study a new major on the side.

Honestly, not much. If there were jobs that paid well right from the start, they would be flooded with people wanting that job, which would cause the starting salary and employment opportunities to decrease.

You might be better off waiting until your wife is secured in her profession...then it can be your turn to experiment, try a new job. You also might want to look for a different position within your line of work. You'll take less of a paycut, and perhaps a different position or company might be less stressful for you.

Best of luck.
