@basedbagel As I said, it depends on your area. But economics is pretty clear: If where you work you have an oversupply of low-paid retards and so little demand there's no reason to worry about competitors, your talents and time should be redirected and spent somewhere else with a higher ROI.
I've changed fields once and I will do it again if the ongoing rate doesn't at least keep up with inflation. I recommend you strive to be bold too, considering your situation ofc.
