I used to work in IT and I totally hated the antisocial nature of the work so I simply quit. This was a number of years ago.
I spent my time on following my passions and self improvement. Looking back, right now, I don't have the money I would of had, had I stayed in IT. But that is no worries. In a few years I will have caught up financially doing what I want to do rather then something I totally dislike.
I don't do 9 to 5 but recently had to catch a train early in the morning with the commuters. The train was packed like a tin of sardines and it was total misery. I had to laugh and thank my lucky stars I had left the rat race behind.
So what do you do now?
I agree the most depressing aspect of the rat race for me has always been the commute aspect. I've been lucky that I have been able to move within a 10 min commute to my office so there is no morning rat race.
