“Flex the Freelance: An Unconventional Guide to Quit Your Day Job” (2020)
Do you hate your job? Do you dread going to work? Do you spend eight hours each day trying to convince yourself that if you’re paying the bills, your current job is good enough? At the end of each week, you’re emotionally drained and unfulfilled. Maybe you’ve drifted so far from your path you need to make a complete 180. Something has to give before you lose it and break down. That was me. I was on edge, and my boss always wanted more. My boss would ask, “Can you work extra hours this week?” The next week he’d ask the same. It was October 8, 2009. I got up, closed the door to my office, and sat back down. I did what any self-respecting 20-something would do. I called my mom. “Mom, I’m done. I just can’t do this anymore. I have to quit.” (Buy the book to keep reading.)
