Short answer is that I'm moving to something else. almost 40 and it seems that my situation is very similar to those in this thread. 13 years in the industry and decided to take a leap of faith and start a new adventure.
Had to leave the design/ad world. burned out, downer attitude, cynical...etc. due to the chip on my shoulder and fuck wad management. however, i did have passion for the work and met many friends.
So if I'm gonna spend time at something, I'd rather focus on my family and artwork. So after 5 months in Japan, and my wife's blessing ahem, I returned with new attitude and career goals.
Currently apprenticing at a studio prototyping toys and sculpting/casting my own art pieces. Still freelancing when the money is worth it.
BTW nice to join the conversation qbn. been lurking 'round these parts for a while.
