Should I quit my job? - Toyota Yaris Forums

escotric · 10-23-2011, 01:09 PM

I'm in a dilemma right now.

I currently teach traffic school (youngest in state of Cali at 21)
It's been 6 months so far and now I want my saturdays back as I teach every 8 hour classes in various cities in every weekend.

I just got promoted at my other job to sell PDF editing software at an enterprise level.

My goal currently is to drop a mix tape of my music and start a clothing company focusing on promoting local non profits.

Should I keep the teacher job just for publicity or if I hate it just drop it?

Is 6 months of teaching traffic school sufficient to be mentioned as a teacher?

I am seriously the youngest as I started at 20 in state of Cali or possibly the nation.

Rapper/singer/entrepreneur/teacher does sound promising to hear though.

Your 2 cents will be helpful.

Thanks.

Do you need the money badly right now?

I say keep working, save up some money. Then, once you have good money in savings, quit the one you don't like as much. Having the money in savings will help you enjoy the job you like even more

Pick one you can live with, keep the others as hobbies. Once your favourite hobby becomes your vocation, you will eventually hate your hobby (experience speaking here!).

i think best thing for someone trying to go into music industry is working somewhere where you can network. i work at a hotel and i meet all sorts off people (met former president of pakistan last weekend). its all about who you know

I quit working at my job years ago. However, I show up to get a pay check.

A lot of factors to consider with stability and benefits of the teaching job vs. doing what you love and the potential to make a lot of money.

You are young. Take a shot at your dreams.
