Ciao.

That’s it. I quit my job. And I do not even have another job in the pipeline. Soon, I am unemployed and I don’t care. You might call me courageous, you might call me rebellious or you might call me extremely stupid. Either way it does not interest me.

I believe, we only have this limited time on earth where we don’t know if we die tomorrow or live for another 50, 60 years. Why spending this valuable time on earth with a job I hate? Why spending my time on earth moaning every day about my job? Counting the days every month until another month is on my LinkedIn profile? I won’t put all of my energy, my pride and life into a job I hate. Life must matter, beyond all the working and our doings. I cannot die before I haven’t lived my life the way I want to. Before I haven’t taken any chances. Before I haven’t seen the world and enjoyed working for the first time. I don’t expect a job to fulfill me. I expect a job where I like going to work, where I like getting up in the morning without being annoyed and stressed out.

With choosing this job, I did something that made me extremely unhappy: Choosing the comfortable way. I finished university and I got a job offer in the same department where I did my internship. I did not look around on the job market, I did not compare, I did not even look what possibilities I have. I just took the job and that was the mistake: Lesson learned: Never choose a job out of comfort.

I know that 2 years sound better in a job. But why are we always searching for reasons not to stop something that makes us extremely unhappy? Why are we wasting time?
