Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. -Confucius


I've worked every day of my life and finally at the age of 31.  Every job that I worked,  I never liked let alone loved. I am so annoyed with this "having a job" that it is affecting me on an emotional level. Mentally and physically I can not deal with the phony personalities, the passive aggressive attitudes,  and the unpredictable work schedule. I am so done with this JOB existence.

If you ever worked in retail, you understand that this is not a great environment for growth or self discovery. In other words, retail and it is the worst industry to get into. Upper Management treats their staff like crap and only care about how much money was made. Middle management is most of the time over worked and exhausted.  Sadly the sale associates always get the short end of the stick. Sales associates are over worked and never reap any benefits from all the profit they made because management want to keep "cost" down.


I want to stop working and start enjoying my life. Working in retail is draining. I finally realize that being a creative mind makes me happy. Working in a space that does not utilizes my talents is a waste of my time and theirs.

My present dilemma is...

 What should I do if I want to quit my job but can't afford to?

If I do quit, how do I make my passions into a business that I can make a great living from?

I realize that it is time for me to enjoy my life and indulge in my passion ...Writing and art. Writing had been my only refuge from my retail nightmare.  Art has been a way to get my frustrations out. Due to the wacked out retail schedule, by the time I get home, all I want to do is eat Nutella and sleep.Yes, I have heard the argument - if you really love it, you will make time. - I am sure that is easier said than done.

I am going to some serious career growing pains...hopefully by September 2015...I never have to work a day in my life
