I feel very down, everyday going to the office, knowing that I am not realizing my full potential. I feel like quitting, but with family obligations (mortgage, kids, parents, etc), I can't do that.
Changing to a new company is also not easy in this environment. I'm thinking of joining the teaching profession or perhaps become a real estate agent or financial planner.
Can any experts here help advise? Currently I'm earning $110k per annum. Would these jobs give me that much?
What would you do if you're in my situation?

I am in your situation. I just look forward to my paycheck at the end of the month. I am thinking of quitting too but when I think of the paycheck, I just endure.
