Yeah I was burned out after working in clinical and consulting positions since I was 20, and this allows me to teach at a university which I really love doing. Big risk though. Thought about quitting multiple times, and still wonder if I made the best choice.

My PhD was in microbiology but I got a nasty virus (not from the lab, I studied bacteria) at the end of it and ended up with chronic fatigue and there is no such thing as part-time research (there are part time positions but these mean full time with part time pay and the full time positions are 80+ hours a week). Currently teaching ESL at a small college 20 hours a week and it is by far the best job I have ever had.
