So, first off, I know that Fur Affinity is not the best website to post questions of money, but just looking for some unbiased thoughts.

I'm very unhappy with my current job, and stress has been building to a huge point. Whats worse, looking for jobs with my skill set, is leaving me disheartened. Most companies want you to apply through a talent agency anymore and not directly with the company.

And those jobs I'm a little more passionate about would see me take a 40% pay cut, reduce me to 20hrs a week or both.

So just wondering about other people's experiences, what they found helped them in their job source, or a surprising stream of income.... Just feeling upset most of the time and would like some opinions.
