Any one else have this problem?

Well Dub, from now on I bet my pay check that will be what I say in an interview. And Jpepper, Lance, and jimco... There's no bluff, they are pricks! They go by "if you don't do it, someone else will" motto... And the FACT of the matter is, not just anyone can do this job. And the training cost involved in getting someone up to par with where I am at with this company is up around 3-9 thousand dollars. I'm not trying to toot my own horn here, but I am a very knowledgeable person in this field. I may only be IT Support analyst, but I know about a lot more than just taking care of someone’s’ computer problems . This is about being able to cover all aspects of the IT department in the company, so that if my boss (Manager of IT) leaves or is out, I can pretty much cover for him. I help manage 100+ users at 3 different sites across Dallas, Plano, and Addison. My problem is that it is a thankless job… no one will ever come up to me, besides the users I’m helping, and say hey, good job or thanks for helping out. Not only that, but they don’t even notice it. I deal directly with the CEO and the President of the company (the owners) and all of the management directly. They are all disrespectful, and do not care about their employees or their families. They short installers in the field money, and screw people over that do work on the building all the time. Matter fact, people here recently that have given their two week notice haven’t even gotten their last week check and were escorted out of the building immediately. This may all seem like me babbling, but I’m trying to figure out if anyone else has to deal with this kind of crap. I’m seriously considering getting on with one of my buddies that have a steady job that is a family business, and doing some manual labor. I want to work with my hands and appreciate what I do for a living. Being at a desk, indoors, waiting on someone to call or email me with a problem isn’t what I want to be doing for the next 2-10 years. I think that I would appreciate a job more where I can work to finish something, with a close friend, and then move on to another job and have a feeling of accomplishment because of such. Plus my friend will eventually be taking over the business and I would be in the front line to run my own crew. He makes good money, and better than I am here. I could go on and on, but I’ll shut myself up here. I’ve bounced the idea off my dad and he thinks I’ll regret it… but my mindset has changed since I’ve gotten into this IT field. Yes, I could possibly make decent money at this company in the future… but do I want to put up with pompous A$$ holes and not be appreciated, or work with a good friend and enjoy being outside and working with my hands. I know this is a lot of BS, and is a lot to read, so if you do thank you for listening/reading and thanks for any input on this subject. Just kind of struggling with the whole concept of switching jobs again so soon…. And especially into a different field again. Thanks.
