In reference to an earlier comment about “real engineers” vs IT Engineers, there are Mission Critical IT functions, one such field is Aviation/avionics.
But to address the OP, is there any way at all that you could train in a new field? As I have stated before but without going into details, IT sucks IMO.
I know starting a new career isn’t easy, but in the long run you might be better off.
You might want to check out the forums on dice.com – very enlightening. I would not waste much time trying to find a job on Dice (as many are fake), but the forums are a great resource for those in IT.
