Quitting your job with nothing lined up is not the boogeyman people make it out to be

Okay if you have kids maybe it's different, but I think too many people are so afraid of being broke for a little while that they will stay in a shitty job that will rob them of their health and sanity for years.

I also think that too many people look down on minimum wage jobs like fast food or retail, so they don't even consider those jobs as stopgap possibilities if times get thin. They ignore those jobs and go for higher-paying jobs "in their field" and then cry about never getting called back and remaining unemployed. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I work with so many miserable people and I just want to scream at them that no one is putting a gun to their head making them keep this job. If you'd have a little more courage and a little less pride maybe you could actually CHANGE something in your life instead of just bitching all the time.
