Was reading this article, randomly showed up on my twitter feed and it got me thinking.

See so many people on this site talk about hating the idea of a 9-5 type job, or not settling for just desk jobs.

So I’m wondering, how many of y’all have quit your potential plush jobs to pursue either a passion or maybe a better spot for your mental health (in theory)?

How has it ended up?

Thread off to a weird start :​

In

I deleted them posts, dude was off a molly or somethin lol

Don’t think I ever would. Way to scared of doing it and failing.

what he say

9-5 this 9-5 that (not at OP)

Y’all need to stfu, if you don’t want a regular ass job you can’t do regular ass stuff like sit in life sxn and complain about your job all day

Why do you care weirdo!

Damn teachers are not valued in the US at all

I would not want to teach gen Z or the children of millennials tbh

Me.

I've been working a low paying IT job (in exchange they offer a lot of tools for development n growth) but my contract ends in august and I already told em I'm good, miss me with an extension. I don't have anything that guarantees living wages lined up from september, except for some government payments, but I figure I'm good for about 3 months off of that at least.

I've started practicing dj'ing and I'm just focused on tryna do that after the summer. I also linked up with a creative company to help out at events & parties they do, which provides me with access to a lot of other creatives and dj's in particular.

I just had somewhat of an awakening last year which lead me to realise that 'jobs' as we know em deplete your Spirit, and that you're much better of taking a leap of faith with something creative. Fear is an illusion, and so is 'making it'. Just do what you love, rather than falling into the trap of the system that society perpetuates. The cliché of doing what makes you happy is a simple truth we all so conveniently ignore.

Good luck man, takes a lot to do a leap of faith with no guarantees on the other side

Try to get stuff lined up on the side though or plan out the next months financially so you’re not stressed stressed if s*** gets tight

Most public school teachers are basically babysitters.

Respect the honesty

last day Monday lets gooooo

I’d rather deal with hyperactive Gen Z kids than deal with the Jock/nerd dynamic of the 90s and early 2000s

@GorillaGlue quit his job and moved to Cali to meet Kanye one time

How is this relevant lmao, none of us were teaching in the 2000s

tone of your post seemed to imply teaching Gen z is like the worst fate for teachers

Also thought you were putting yourself in the position of a teacher who’s been employed , my b

Just do it you won’t regret it

i did. can’t type it out atm but i will when i’m free

quit one miserable spot for another spot that was way better for my mental health

I quit my warehouse job last august when I found out I had over $10,000 backpay in unemployment. Been happy ever since

I did in March it hasn't paid off yet

I still have a job, but I had two jobs and quit one. Still haven't found anything good yet

It takes a particular mindset to effectively do it tho

Gotta be okay with bad days, hungry days, possible evictions and s***

Not always a good thing
