KK: the difference I'm sensing between you and the career changers here is PASSION. It's one thing to pursue a passion like many of us are doing here, but you seem only to be running from an unsatisfying job (aren't they all?). You'll track straighter running to something than from something else. [insert NDB homing joke here.]

That doesn't mean you can't pursue employment elsewhere until you figure out what your burning passion is. Look into marketing your services as a consultant. Teach CAD at the local community college. Write a book.

Just my $0.02.
