want to make career change but…
Hello. I don't know if this is the right place to post sorry if not. I am a 25 year old, I have a collage degree in HVAC. But now that I have done it for a few years I am very miserable and not enjoying it at all. The schedule is brutal and pay is not nearly enough for the amount of work, with huge slow seasons in spring and fall. After thinking for a long time I have decided I would like to change careers to long distance driving, and have already found a possible job, but I am worried about wasting my degree and experience at company. Should I consider changing careers or stick with HVAC.
I'm not sure if this post breaks the rules, but I really need some advice on the quality of my resignation letter. It was a spur of the moment decision (writing a letter that is, not quitting) and I just want to make sure my thoughts seem coherent to another person. I've censored any potential identifying info but this is a google doc so take that as you will. Please, any and all advice would be appreciated, it's nighttime where I currently live and I plan on sending this out tomorrow morning at least four hours before my shift is scheduled to start. Here is my resignation letter! I know it's not formatted well, I'll fix that when I remove the censors in the morning.
I still see plenty of jobs that list the position is “fast-paced” and require “multitasking”. Isn't this a pre-pandemic thing? Aren't employers learning from this movement? If not, there are still some enablers in the system. Why would any employee want to be taken advantage of?

Depressed that I have to work to live?
I haven't kept a job for more than a year in years– and I've never kept a full time job for longer than a year. I went into the law field thinking I loved it– I'm even working in an area of law I thought I'd love. But I just can't take working for 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I can't take the expectations that are put on me– and they're not even unreasonable. It's just that they require actually working for those 8 hours. I wanted my career to help people but I feel like I'm not doing anything more than glorified data entry. I want to go into policy work now, but I'm not even confident that I'll feel better in that role, and I'm worried it won't pay enough for me to survive. I'm concerned that this isn't even “burnout” but rather just…

Applying for professional jobs
I recently applied for a financial aid counselor position from the college I actually graduated from. When I applied, it stated the pay was $15.16 an hour but could be higher based on qualifications. I went ahead and applied because I’m desperate to leave my job and thought I could fight for the pay to be increased (I have 7 years experience and a masters while this position only calls for a bachelors). It also asked for my current salary on the application (which I was honest about and I make about $27 an hour) I got the call to set up the interview and the lady says “we would like to set up an interview with you, but we couldn’t help but notice your current salary-would you still be open to the $15.16 per hour? I responded that I felt I should be compensated more based on my qualifications…
