Oh, gosh. You are so young, this transition will be virtually painless. I did it in my 30s, and will probably do it again in my late 40s.

As for the parents, if you go to them with a plan (a new chosen career, some job interviews lined up, etc), they'll take it ok.

I have a friend that had a degree in petroleum land management. He went to work for a big company when he got out.....moved up and stayed with them a while...actually until he was 38. Then he switched to mortgage banking. COMPLETELY different career, but he was tired of land work and got into it. He was a dogboy for a while but now he is over the main office for two cities here in Texas!

If you aren't happy, you will dread everyday of your life! You are young, move on and do what you like!

Good luck!
