Not just my job, but the entire industry I'm in. I get paid really well, and I like some of the fine details, but overall I don't like it. My skill-set isn't very transferable either.

I work in oil and gas. I'm a liberal witchy environmentalist dude. The amount of homophobic, racist conservatives I have to deal with day in day out make me want to eat a bullet for dinner. Not to mention the harm companies like mine do to the earth. But I can't get paid anywhere else like I am here. I can fall back on my desired profession (residential electrician journeyman) but it simply doesn't pay enough

Hope it all works out for you in the end. I'm in a financially good enough position I have the freedom to make big changes if I want. Being a residential electrician was on my consideration list, but the length of time before being able to do it on my own pushed it down a few places.
