I know exactly what you're talking about. My own experience with the corporate rat race mirrors your own. For what it's worth, I'm now my own boss and the life I thought would be more stressful is actually quite stress-free. Working for yourself is virtually stress free compared to working for someone else.

Thanks for sharing your insights and all my hopes for whatever path, if any, you choose for the long run. I appreciate your taking the time to publish this.
