   Hey this is pretty much exactly what I did four years ago. I’ll write out replies for you.

   >People who took a pay cut for their own mental health and pursuit of happiness, how did it work out?

   For me it was part mental part physical. I worked in steel making process. It was lucrative but grating as it was swing shifts and physically dangerous. I was making over 6 figures starting out and switched industries entirely to a seasonal contractor job after taking classes in my spare time. My pay before the steel mill was 60k > 100k+ > back to 60-70k.

   > Do you have any regrets?

   Yes and no. I regretted not having more of a nest egg when I made the switch. Thankfully contracting made me enough to float past but there were definitely adjustments to be made. Secondarily I knew the change would eventually be more stable and make more (the six figure salary was not guaranteed) so it helped.

   I am a few years down the line. I’ve switched companies again and am now happier, safer, and making more money than before due to multiple promotions because I actually like my job now lol.

   My biggest piece of advice if you do make the switch is, make sure when you get into a job you like, start off very strong. Engross yourself as much as you reasonably can into learning the ropes, putting a good foot forward, and trying to be helpful. In doing so it built my reputation up enough that I get constant head hunting messages from friends, former managers, and competitors. Most importantly, never settle for less. Always look for the next better opportunity.
