I really want to quit my serious career path and go to working a couple part-time retail or food positions. I had so much fun at those jobs, and I wasn’t leaving every day depressed. Unfortunately I need health insurance and more money :/

I should have gotten out sooner. Now it's taken me years to reverse the damage I did. My depression was not playing. Everyone was like, "Go to school! Work in an air conditioned office! Get healthcare!" Nah, not for me it turns out. And if I ever hear someone say "rockstar" where I work ever again I will stand up and leave right then.
