I had a shitty sales job for 20 years. The company went out of business and I really had nothing to show for it. I went to school nights and got a degree in Computer Science and had a good career in IT.

Try to make something positive out of this.

Just don’t waste 6 more. Everyone has mistakes or things they wish they did differently at one point or another but treat those things as lessons to apply to your future.

i could not take the job anymore

Then I don’t blame you for leaving, just sorry it took you so long to do it. Still, you can’t dwell on that, maybe celebrate leaving that place finally and hopefully your next job will be much more rewarding.

Did you get paid?

Did it keep you fed, and paid the bills?

[Asker]

Just take some time to enjoy putting your feet up for a change and when you're ready begin your search for a new job. Stuff happens and sometimes we make mistakes but we just gotta keep on going.

Yep. You should always have one eye out for a better job. You can always do better.
