I pretty much done just that
I've been living with the folks recently and although I'm on a decent wage, I've never enjoyed this job.

So for about 2 years I've been saving money with various levels of success. Got a tidy sum kept away for if things got really desperate and I could tell the boss to shove the fucking job up his arse.

But that never happened so I've been quietly stewing away for months. So the other week I took a look at myself and thought - same job for 3 years, still living with folks, for fuck sake your 26 in October man get a grip of yourself.

Had a meeting with my manager who in her complacency probably thought I was going to speak about holidays or some such shite, and then BOOM - I came out with I'm putting in my notice.

I don't have a job lined up but my options are open - travel, relocate to a new city - the job hunt is European wide and I'll take anything!

What are you qualified to do?

I do cringe a bit saying it
but I have a degree in Marketing. Which qualifies me to work with arseholes, althoguh I can get away with doing admin-type officey roles if I lower my salary expectations a bit.

Long term though I'm wanting to open a business. Putting together a business plan and in the next few months will start meeting a few people for advice - local business links, the bank manager, business owners I know, etc..

It's part pipe dream part very possible.
