Leaving without a job lined up?

I've done it twice and am always open to doing it again if I'm put in a no-win spot...wouldn't advise it unless you've got a really nice rainy day fund built up and are prepared to ride it out and leave the business for a while. Fortunately, I have the good rainy day fund, which makes it a lot easier.

 

Well I work 40 hours a week I'm just not considered full-time. I'm pretty sure just about every mid-sized daily and up does this. And I could easily move out if I wanted to, but my parents like having me around. I guess your parents are just dicks.

 

No, Angola! said his parents might take him back but encourage him to move out incessantly.

They'd be dicks if they left him on the streets to die.

 

Exercise patience in seeking employment. Maybe, you should have had a job lined up. Any way, NOTHING beats FAMILY, and being around FAMILY. When any thing goes wrong or you're in need of help, it's your FAMILY that normally comes to the rescue. A family that prays together, stays together. It's more than likely a big deal for your parents to have you back in the fold. Jobs are nice, family is better!

 

Your parents must really, really enjoy your company to let you live with them for two years especially when you are old enough and financially stable enough to move out.
I just think it is an unnecessary burden to place on your parents when they might like to live a little too.

 

I heard a different rendition of that one. But it did involve loving your family. ...

 

My parents set a September deadline for me to be out of the house -- no questions. I applied seemingly everywhere without a bite. Finally I landed a part-time job in early August, then snatched a full-time spot out of state and got the fuck out of there. It took my parents and I about two years to bury the hatchet. (No offense, Native Americans.) They were dicks at the time, but meant well ... if you know what I mean.

 

Say hello to a new career TopNotch, as a highly paid professional salesmen going door to door for magazine subscriptions.

 

just saw on the annapolis gig on the jobs thread that they had 200 applicants. I'd think twice before leaving even a bad gig with nothing on my plate, but that's just me.

 

I believe I can do better for myself than working at Wal-Mart or going door-to-door as an magazine salesman.

Thanks for advice/reassurance/sarcastic comments. I've applied for some non-sports-writing gigs, so we'll see how things go.

 

Best of luck, guy. Just make sure you're happy. That's the important part. A little scratch is good, too. But as long as you're making enough to buy food, being happy is No. 1.

 

you wouldn't have made july in my house.
