I absolutely respect and admire your decision. I have often said I would rather make less money and enjoy my job instead of being rich and miserable 8 or 9 hours out of my day. When your job sucks it bleeds over into the rest of your life and I personally don't think that's a good way to live. As was said before, life's too short. Good luck with finding a new job... I'm sure if you take the determination to make things work at this job and apply it to finding a new one you will be gainfully employed soon... and you'll know what to watch out for when you interview at new places.
