Indy- I was a customer relations manager for 5 years, walked into the office one day and quit. I was so fed up. My boss freaked out and promoted me to marketing manager, basically so he could keep me around. Well, it sounded great but I do not have a marketing background and now I'm totally floundering. Design an ad campaign in two weeks? Uh....I don't even know where to start.

It's turned into a total disaster. I could never get a marketing job anywere else simply because I don't have any experience or knowledge. I've been looking around, but I'd have to step back to a marketing coordinator position and take a major pay cut anyway.

You did raise some good questions though. My husband has a very stable job, and due to his industry he'd have a new job if anything happened. He's lucky that he loves his career. It's a tough choice...all I know is that I can't cry every day after work
