Default I'm thinking it's time for a career change. <IT Professional rant>

I'm stressed 24x7. I can't sit and relax at home without thinking about work, pending projects, deadlines, issues. Working 14-16+ hours a day and still not managing the work load that comes in. It doesn't help that I'm a one man team and if I don't go in, no one can do my job. And the amount of my responsibilities is fucking insane.

I don't know what I want to do yet but a career change is in mind. Life shouldn't be so stressful. I miss going home "done" and just chilling out. :sad:

The money is decent but I don't think its worth it. Especially my role. Just about every IT dept including ours has groups broken down to cover various responsibilities like Network Support/Client Support/Database etc. Mobile Solutions (my group) however is pretty much it's own entity. Whether it's building my own images, to developing and testing software packages/updates/patches for over 1000 mobile users, maintaining my servers, repairing Toughbooks, implementing and deploying rsa security, r&d, automating processes for various dept's, blah blah blah. I could go on and on.
