four year degree and i'm working in a call center. but it fits my life and my life style, far less stress than I had at my "real" job.

take care of yourself first, take time off if you need to. there is nothing shameful about taking time to get yourself and your life where you need it to be to be healthy and happy.

don't keep beating yourself up over this. we all move at our own pace
