Leaving Academia for Good- tips

Hi all,

I'm tired of moving from Associate professor role to Associate professor role and having a) programs close due to low enrollment and b) having to essentially start over at my rank because so few universities will bring in time toward full professorship these days. I feel like I have been on a hamster wheel now for more than a decade (17 years in higher ed) and am totally burnt out. I'm also tired of chairs who gaslight or don't have any people skills to support those who report to them. Frankly, I'm over it. My field is education but I don't want any industry education jobs and want out of the field altogether. Anyone in a similar boat? What did you do? I'm 45 and feel like I have an opportunity to do something totally different, which at this point in my life is a bit terrifying, but also liberating, empowering, and exciting. Being free from the ties of academia is becoming more enticing each year. I am sure I can make much more money doing something else where I have more control over my life outside of work. Tips? Thanks!
