Title. Have a job as a support agent and is really well payed, but it is a living hell and really can't go anywhere up from here if I remain as one. I have a degree in archictecture and want to pursuit it as a career or something similar as a designer/ 3D model expert etc. Issues are that I current job doesn't leave me enough time to even prepare for candidating, so my option is to leave my job and be without a job for a month or two so I can prepare portfolios, be prepared etc. I have another part time job which is enough to allow me to have food while I'm unemployed.

So misc should I take the risk to be a piss poor person for a few months and pursuit my career goals or continue with my lifeless robotic but well payed job that I hate deep in my guts? Only risk is that I may not get employed for a while after I quit, thus have to rely on savings and part-time job incomes.

So ''long term well payed misery'' vs ''short term poverty misery that may pay off in the end or it may not, depending if I find a new job''

Don't do it. If you can't ****ing spell 'paid' correctly, no one will want you.

a support agent is a well paid job now? wtf

One of our friends managed to land a job at a tier 1 high finance bank/asset management firm when he was 22 straight out of college. He was making almost making 130k USD+ salary in Mexico City.

Decided to quit to "pursue his dreams", 5 years later, his startup never took of, he is jobless and no firm wants to hire him. His dad gives him 1-2k a month out of pity

i refuse to believe you cant make enough progress towards getting client while also working your FT job. if it akes working your side gig AS a full time job, then thats what it takes. either work 80 hours a week or quit your main job with no backup plan.

IF it really is that impossible, the have no less than two years worth of income saved, have no plans to finance anything, and then you can take the leap.

but just quitting a job because of feelings with no savings or other definite sources of income....? nah dawg.

why have 2 chit level jobs when u can moneymaxx with a single venture?

When you say 3d modeler/designer, what do you exactly mean? Like modeler/draftsperson or Engineer? If you are talking backend stuff like administering SolidworksPDM/Autocad across many users thats something entirely different, more database/IT related.

It is actually, it is web hosting related so there is a bit of technical learning curve as well on how servers and DNS work, and how to troubleshoot it of course. You work a horrid job that nobody wants with constant pressure, thus why payment is high. Most employees quit within the first year they are here, only way to keep them is to give them a decent salary.

Easily the ****tiest job I've done. Bad working hours, literally no time to even take a piss for 8 straight hours, thus why it is even hard to organise yourself to do anything else. You get a lot of knowledge the first half-year but then it is a huge plateau from there on, which is the biggest pain for me.3D visualisation modeling + drafter or 3D modeling alone. Option B is a taking a job in Graphic design, since I used to do it as a hobby/ side gig for years while in University.

The issue is that I'm on a full time job in CS + part time on another side gig, also will be graduating my second degree soon so I'm in a bit study territory. I tried to make it to work for months but it just isn't possible, don't have the time to try and prepare for a career change - have cut my social life overall as well

No. Start a family. Tragedy is inevitable. This allows you to enjoy an external goal regardless how your vacation fails to fund you.
