I often reminisce about working in a warehouse and going home without any looming thoughts about work. I mean, you can't really take the sweeping and forklifts home with you.

These days it takes serious effort to put the work aside and not think about either current or future problems that I am being paid to solve. Sometimes this industry feels like a field of rabbit holes and it requires almost perfect balance not to fall into them.

The ability to turnoff is a huge reason I think about other careers. The other reason is wanting to find a job where I can work 7-9 months and have the rest of the time to travel and get outdoors.
