I have a lot of experience with burnout, and I've formed a pretty strong opinion of it. The risk of burnout has practically unlimited downsides. If you can 'tough it out' then it isn't really burnout. If not, then the upside is limited to collecting another month or two of salary, at ever increasing risk of serious health issues. If you believe you're actually burning out, my advice is to just get out. There are a lot of jobs out there. A lot. No need to make yourself miserable over one job. I don't have a degree either. Also from experience: living on a tight budget is much better than health problems. Living on a tight budget is much better than hating your career.
