I love my job as a freelance writer. Although if it ever got to the point that I couldn’t take time to spend with my family, I might quit it altogether…

The man of my dreams asking me to move to another country with him.
Yeh, right. Like that would ever happen.

…nothing. :)
I’m fortunate enough to have made my ideal job, and I’m working at growing it into a business with assets that will continue to pay me for years to come.

@ Miranda: I doubt that it would happen for you (getting a poor work-life balance) the great thing about freelancing is that you have control of the projects that come in, as well as your time.
@ Nada: Well, you never know. ;)
@ Lindsay: Congratulations! I feel the same way about my work as well.
Book reviews coming up!

Choosing to make a career change would involve a number of factors for me. I approach new opportunities in the same way I approach my work tasks - organized. The decision to leave a job (assuming it is not pure torture) should not rely on monetary gain but more importantly it should offer greater benefit and be more valuable to you in some way, i.e. increased autonomy, career growth, new skill attainment etc.
