I quit my full-time job yesterday around 9:02 a.m. Ever the pragmatist, my mom asked if it was smart to resign before I had a concrete job offer. I said that I would rather be writing and would find a way to make it work. In typical fatherly fashion, my dad said, "you gotta do what you gotta do." So I did: I trusted in my survival (and self-marketing) skills and took a leap of faith. Then I got an offer for a full-time copywriting position* around 1:02 p.m. This (and the invention of low-fat Doritos) proves that the universe is inherently good.
*Admittedly, I had a hunch because I'd been on some interviews, but, as mom pointed out, it could have been a disaster.

great news Susan! I can't wait to here how it goes
Sounds like a good job op!
Your post reminds me of my parents,(well sorta). As my university graduation had approached my Mom is like "what if the only job you can get is at McDonalds!" he he..
Way to instill confidence, Mom! I know she means well, but as Dad says, "you gotta do what you gotta do."
My parents told me I should go to law school so I'd always be able to make a living. It's satisfying when the "making a living" part of life and the "joyful" part of life start to resemble each other. Kudos to you!
Congratulations, that's great news! Talk abouton a roll! ;)
Congrats!!
That first leap of faith is always the hardest...at least it was for me...but like you, it paid off for me! :) Congrats and good luck.
Congrats!
