For 2 consecutive years, I’ve tossed in the towel and quit my job right before the holidays. Was it a smart move? Financially, it’s probably the most idiotic step a fresh grad could make. Holiday season is the most expensive time of the year and you push away the only income generator you have. Yeah, you deserve a medal. Good job!
“I stand on principle where other people stand on money.” said Paula Abdul. I’m not gonna be all self-righteous and say that I don’t give a rat’s ass about earning money but the former Idol judge does have a point. Heck it would be nice to get as much cash as I can but there are just some things that would push me off the bandwagon.
I may not have a lot of experience yet, but I thought I might share some good points to consider when it is time for you to move on. At least, these were MY reasons for deciding a full-on freelance life.
