For anyone thinking of leaving a good paying job, keep this in mind before you do something you will regret... I have a relative who fell out of love with his good paying (non technology) job and quit without another good job to jump to. He is a substitute teacher now at a local middle school and in case you are wondering, he does not like it. I am talking about a guy who was making over 200k per year. The main reason he quit is because he hated his boss. He hates his small paycheck a lot more now. We are not going through a Great Depression now, but economic indicators are similar.

My Grandpa told me a long time ago (1982), "Utefan001, don't ever quit a job without having a better job to jump to. I quit my job cleaning chicken coups just before the Great Depression and it was one of the worst decisions I ever made."

Of course you need to find a job that you love, but you need to BE CAREFUL.
