10 Reasons Why You Have to Quit Your Job This Year

It's the worst time to graduate with any degree. Why people continue to drift into colleges is beyond me. Don't they hear that nobody is hiring? I have a highly demanded degree and I haven't even bothered applying for one job. I know I will not get what I'm worth if I'm "lucky" enough to get hired.

 

Another cocky guy who thinks he has the world figured out for everyone else.

 

Ever heard the term: self-fulfilling prophecy? You're living it.

 

Whats the best thing i can do in 2 years of college? I'm desperate and tired of working warehouse/machine shop jobs.

 

**** it. I'm taking the writers advice then. I'm quitting the job I don't want or have and starting my own BBS called LinFans.net

 

I think many people took this as "quit your job tomorrow" and not "quit your job this year". He's not saying quit your job today and go start some half-cocked Prestige Worldwide business. He's saying figure out what you're good at and what you enjoy and spend some time thinking about how you can combine those things. Then slowly put yourself in a position to do that for yourself and not someone else. Make a plan. Work towards it. I can't see how that's bad advice. Easier expressed in a blog than done, but the point is there.

 

Employee compensation is simply not enough. No way one of the world's largest economies should there be such a divide between the upper and lower classes.

 

What is your degree in?

 

BTW, what's up with all the D&D topics in the GARM recently? Let's get back to the ass and racks.

 

Too doom and gloom.

Some good points I guess.

Dental Hygienist doesen't take to long. Pay is pretty good.

 

This is bs, I am a financial analyst and we are constantly recruiting new staff. I spend half my week in meetings and the other half working in a team based environment. I feel adequately compensated and love my coworkers, I have no desire to quit.

 

For all of you who are quitting your jobs, wanting to, or don't have one and aren't trying very hard to change that, I have a question: WHO are you living off of? Who is working their a** off to pay your food, rent, cell phone plan, etc., as well as theirs? Is that really fair?

So my job isn't bad anyway... but these days it is not wise to quit one before securing another, even if you aren't happy, unless you have a whole lot of savings to live off of and very good odds of finding something else soon. Selling stuff or starting your own business is great, but most people who do that aren't making enough to truly live on - they need an outside job or parents or something - and it helps if at least one member of a couple works in a more traditional job so they can get health insurance for the family.

 

lol, if u have a family and mouths to feed, this article means jack

 

I sort of put this in place. Started thinking of how I could freelance and expand my skills and make money for myself rather than the company I was working for. Did this for a year while working full-time. Couple of hours per day after work, or on the commute. It was hard to push through the post-office fatigue but it was worth it. I now work freelance and get paid direct (no company middle man), do much less work and get paid the same and am able to pursue my dream of completing my PhD and getting into University work, without getting into debt. I'm not rich or anything but it's given me time and flexibility. It's not for everyone, if I didn't want the PhD then staying at my job might have been easier/better.

 

Yo fo real, my wife does this.
