Should I quit my 9-5 sales job and go back to serving????

I am 23 years old and just graduated college a year ago. I jumped right into a sales job after college where the money is decent, management is great and I get to work from home a couple days a week. I enjoy sales but it can be demanding/difficult. The company offers PTO, but since it’s a sales job, it’s hard to step away for a vacation to relax when you are still expected to hit your quota on the month. I feel that I have already become burnt out from this job and am considering quitting this job to go back to serving for more money, less hours, flexibility to travel, enjoy more free time and focus on learning new skills to hopefully work for myself some day. I served all through college and loved it, and also made great money working much less hours than I am working…

I feel that I have already become burnt out from this job and am considering quitting this job to go back to serving for more money, less hours, flexibility to travel, enjoy more free time and focus on learning new skills to hopefully work for myself some day. I served all through college and loved it, and also made great money working much less hours than I am working now. I am thinking of doing this for 1-2 years, while figuring out if I can work for myself. If it doesn’t work out, I can always go back to a corporate job, but my lack of experience in the field may make that difficult since I’ve only been working this job for 1 year. However, I also feel like now would be the best time in my life to do this, as I am still able to utilize my parents health insurance until 26 years old.

Has anyone ever done this?? I’m stuck and not sure what the right decision is.
