Resigning after 25 years today.

[JodyH]

As of this morning I'll be joining the ranks of the unemployed.

I've been employed in one capacity or another for the same company since 1991 (no I'm not that old, I just started young).
For the past few years I've had two part time side businesses and one of them has pretty much forced me to make a decision.
Do I stay where I'm at at making a steady living for the next 20 years or do I take my business to the next level and hopefully be retired very comfortably in <10 years (or broke and looking for another steady job in 5).
It's kind of weird quitting something you've done for over half your life.

Wish me luck boy's, I'm jumping out of this plane with only one arm in the parachute harness and no reserve.

Good luck man! I've been teetering on the edge as well.

Good luck Jody. I think you are 'getting out' at the right time (oil is 29/bbl)...and I am jealous.

I told the wife to fully expect me to be drunk by 10am today.
The company has a habit of walking you out and paying two weeks instead of letting you work.

Best of luck!

Sometimes it is better to jump than be pushed, that's for sure.

Good luck man! I've had some similar circumstances of future financial uncertainty based upon some very carefully made, very specific choices in the last few years...

Betting on yourself is certainly harrowing, but has certainly freed me up to pursue my dreams.

Now, in the last week I've suddenly had some very unexpected life circumstances that have flipped everything on its head, and yet, I'm still much happier for having bet on myself.

Your persona via the Internet seems to be one that I would bet on being successful as well.

Best of luck in your endeavors.

Quiter!

Just kidding that's awesome and brave. Rarely does something awesome happen while you are sitting in the safety of the sidelines. Way to put it out there

Fortune favors the bold.

Good luck Jody!

Times of professional uncertainty often lead to the most growth. Kind of like being on a long climb that you don't know whether you will get up.

Just don't tell us you are becoming a gun writer.
