Given the Current Economy, is it a bad time to leave a job?

Question

I live in California, and have been considering quitting my job to attend college full-time. I've been attending school part-time, but want to knock out more courses. Will I end up regretting this move?

Answer 1

The question would be what career you are looking to go into after you finish college.  If it is a career that is in high demand right now, such as accounting or nursing, then no, you probably won't regret it.  However, if it is a career like law, then yes, because you will probably have a hard time finding a job once your graduate.

Answer 2

Not necessarily. I'm quitting my job at wal-mart to work at a call center at a warranty corporation. It is a slight paycut, but I think this company treats their employees better, and I won't have to be walked on by customers. Regardless of the market, I strongly advise going to college. I finished 2 years, but ran outta money. Thats how I ended up in the situation I'm in now. If you get an education, you're much more likely to have a decent-paying career as opposed to a menial job. Also you could try online courses, that way you may still be able to work. Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes you will. Especially in today's market. I would take online classes instead. I worked fulltime and took 16 hours and made the Dean's List, so it can be done.
