I'm fortunate enough to have good credit and I qualify for a decent apr for a personal loan.

It would help give me breathing room for some time and help me make a career change. Are there any obvious traps to look out for?

Edit - Thanks for the advice, everyone! I'm not planning on taking out a loan anytime soon. I'm just under stress and hate my job. I just wanted to know if getting a loan would be a viable option to buy some time/recharge for a little bit without immediate bills on my ass.

    If it's a career change to another country, you could always take out a massive loan and then never pay it back.

      But if I was thinking about that, I'd never be able to move back to the US... Oh no...

        Faking your own death might be an option too, but that would take a lot of time and effort and would probably involve stealing a corpse.
