Top Ten (10) Reasons Why You Should Quit Your Job

For those among us who are young and have little to no responsibilities, here is a handy list of why you should Quit Your Job*.

Fresh out of college and just started that first office job? Don't have any children? Don't have a mortgage to pay and have very few expenses? If so, you pre-qualify for Quit Your Job Express.

Top Ten (10) Reasons to Quit Your Job Express:

10. Your job doesn't let you travel. There are so many places to see in your lifetime, but staying in the same place for 40+ hours a week won't get you anywhere near them.
9. Your job doesn't let you work from home. It's the age of the Internet, but your employer is reluctant to update its policies.
8. You're bored. You're not happy. If you are not getting joy out of life, what are you getting?
7. You don't want to turn into your supervisor in 20 years. If this thought scares you, think about the "career ladder" that you are currently on.
6. You have a family and friends. Your company would rather you work overtime than let you see the people you care about.
5. You're not helping people. Does the company you work for have a positive impact on the world and its inhabitants?
4. Commuting is no fun. Neither is wasting your time, or polluting the earth.
3. Your employer doesn't trust its' employees. A large "Employee Manual" and occasional meetings about the company's dress code doesn't help.
2. Bureaucracy. The company you work for should have a structure, not unnecessary red tape to get a simple task done.
1. You are helping other people get rich. You can't get rich off a salary, and you may not like/agree with the people who you are making rich.

Bonus Reason: There's only so much time. Life is too short to hold grudges, watch too much television, or sit in an office. Explore the Earth - Rid the world of poverty, run for political office, become a fighter pilot.
