Im in pretty much the exact same situation as you actually, although I work up in the shitty mill town of Prince George which im sure you've probably heard of.

I'd love to pursue something else but I have no idea what exactly and the thought of actually quitting gives me intense anxiety, even though im miserable with my current job. That and the money is too good.

Btw good for you on accepting your sexuality. I know how uncomfortable that can be especially when all the guys at work keep asking stuff like "when u gonna get a girl yet?" or "u gonna get some pussy this weekend?". I just kind of chuckle inside wondering how long until they get the hint. :P
