Freedom - What It's Like to Quit Your Job

Many of us remember the empowering song from the 70s, "Take This Job and Shove It" about a man who had had enough and decided he would rather be free than spend another minute at a job he hated. I think that almost everyone can identify with this sentiment but the fear of loss of security often prevents us from repeating those lines ourselves.

Others, however, know that there is more out there than the cubicle where they spend most of time between 9 and 5 and they decide to go ahead and take the risk of the unknown and simply QUIT. While YOU may think they are crazy, just about every poll that has been done on groups of people who quit their job to become their own boss, no matter how good, or BAD, they are doing, say that quitting their job was the best thing they ever did.

Nowadays, thanks to the growing number of people who are successfully making money on the Internet, people are not as locked into their regular jobs as they once were. Learning how to make money on the internet is just one of the many opportunities you can pursue if you quit your job of course, but thanks to the growing number of people who are online around the world, it can be one of the most lucrative.

For those folks that are tired of their career paths as they exist, but are in no hurry to fire up the PC to try to earn their paycheck, they still have many opportunities afforded them. Employers everywhere are starting to realize that allowing their employees to work at home can be a viable and PROFITABLE solution for both parties. Employers can save on overhead expenses from not having to have an employee onsite and perhaps budgeted items like company cars or even health insurance, and the employee can "be their own boss" and work from the comfort of their own home.

It can be a tough thing to be staring at retirement just a few years off and think "What if...I had just quit my job..." Well, if you take some time and investigate the opportunities that lie before you, you may realize the greatest freedom of all, by deciding to QUIT your job.
