I feel sorry if your job isn't going well, but there's plenty of choice in IT, and on the whole it's well paid. The hours are normally pretty easy and it tends to be fairly low-stress. However, commuting can be soul destroying and I personally found fixing that problem turned my life around.
In fact it enabled me to have enough spare time and money to get a PPL. Then an IMC. That wasn't too difficult so I got a CPL. Then an instructor rating. Then an aerobatic instructor rating. Then an IR. After a while I needed a new challenge so I got a parachute pilot rating. Then one day when I passing 5000' in the climb for the 10th time being deafened and vibrated to death for £50 a day I thought "what the hell am I doing here I can programme a computer".
So, be careful what you wish for, you may get it.
BTW I still work in IT.
