Is it a good thing? For us yes definitely! Everyone needs to make their own mind up what is right for them.
15 years ago I decided I had had enough. I worked for the government and had designed some pretty good stuff for them, sat on a national design group and had an input into legislation. But I was working my guts out for people who were ticking boxes on their own agendas, they probably won't even remember my name now. I realised there were other people out there just as qualified as me to have an input. I wanted a better life FOR ME.
I went to work for a charity and was home by 3pm most days and felt I made a difference to people's lives.
Five years after that my other half said they had had enough and we both quit to go travelling. We did miss the social side of work, so we did seasonal work for a few summers but now we spend about half the year away and the other half at home with the family.
