Change is good. It removes any regrets about not doing something. I think the reason some people don't make changes is fear of the unknown. This is not how I live my life. I left NJ when I realized it was getting more shitty every day and would never get better. It was the best thing I have done in a long time. I packed up the whole family and relocated to a much nicer area than I could ever find in NJ. I say the fact that you are considering a change is enough reason to make the change.

This. Your employer wouldn’t hesitate to walk you out the door if they wanted to. Usual and customary to give 2 weeks notice, unless otherwise noted in your employment contract.

Looks like a Remington drop on Natchez today .

We all could have stopped reading there. Do it. I practically started my career at that age, so you're in the PERFECT position IMO. You properly identified that the restaurant/culinary industry is BRUTAL to family/home life. Those 60 hour weeks NEVER change. Get out now while you can.

Cool. Safemoon has heat now, but it's really only tokenomics going for it. It'll probably never do much of anything. If it goes up significantly, join the dump of the pump! I bought 1000 more Doge today. Elon Musk is going to put a Dogecoin on the moon. Literally, a physical coin, on the actual moon. When that happens, a lot of people are going to want Dogecoin. I bought the first 1k at .035. Today 1k was at .267. Moonshot baby! $10! (I'd profit take at $1)

You don't owe your present employer much at those wages, they are working you to a frazzle for peanuts. Don't burn any bridges behind you, but don't go overboard on giving notice either. BTW- I doubt they will counter offer, if they did it probably wouldn't be enough and you'd still be working grueling hours.

Yes. Next question.

Work/life balance is key. Sounds like you have absolutely none right now... Time to make a change.

I worked in outplacement, and work as a resume writer now (as one of my income pipelines). Not only have I changed my own career along the way, but I've talked to MANY others who have. I strongly encourage it! I've seen studies showing that career changers are some of the happiest people around... and my personal observations tell me so, too. Besides, how much more reason do you need than what you already wrote? You're burnt out (common for chefs by the way). You have an offer for more money, better hours. You acknowledge it's a "no brainer". You even have an idea that you could finish your degree with the extra time you gain. I would argue that you're not really worried about anything... but the fear of change itself. Are the skills you have transferrable to the new job? I would imagine your current role involves managing/motivating staff, meeting (food) production schedules, etc. Wouldn't much of that transfer? So, if you think you can do the job (as your buddy certainly does)... I say: embrace change! And don't assume you'll be there in 10-20 years anyway! That's old school thinking... it's not the way the job market works anymore. You should be constantly thinking: Am I still happy here? What skills have I developed? Which skills do I still need to develop? Am I keeping my personal/professional network up? etc. Managing your own career should be a natural and ongoing process for everyone, at all times.

Yup, when that stops, call me.
