RE: quit my stressful job today

Are you going to stay in the same field or try something different?

In 89, I left the company I was working for and started my own (very) small company writing software, typically on a project basis. In addition to working from home, I was able to pick which jobs I would take, usually depending on my impression of the individuals I would be interfacing with. It allowed me to avoid what I thought could be stressful experiences. In retrospect it was a good experience, much better than working for a company although I should have been pickier.

One thing that I did when considering my options was to think about what a typical day would be like. This drove me to avoid developing a product which would have resulted in a lot of my time performing non technical tasks.
