so i have not written in a while, and i started one earlir today when I realized I had nothing to say. but now I thought of something to ask those who view this page.

so the question is, What would you give your job up for?

The reason I ask this is because I was recently reading this article on "getting away". a couple who the wife took a sabbatical from her job at a University, and the husband giving up his job to go with her, and bring the kids along to Australia for a year. Now hehas a guaranteed job, but he gave it up for a year of "fun" is what he call is pretty much. so would you do such a thing?

I think it's hard these days to give something up that is a sure thing for a future that is not so clear. I think this statement extends even beyond jobs, but also relationships, school, friendships, and even just day to day life events.

But focusing on jobs for the time being, say you have a fulltime job, what would it take for you tog ive it up? A better job? sure the "better" job sounds better in paper, but will it be? I think most people would be willing to give up their current job for something that may be better in another job. Sure they don't know for sure, but I think this risk is minor and is worth the risk. I mean the results will either be great, or of not much loss I don't think.

But then what else? Would you give it up for a year of fun? To go to another country for a year, maybe two to just have some fun, while possibly finding a job there or something, that may pay less, and you will be spending more being in another country and all. I think this one depends on a lot of factors, but one may be inclined to do so I think if the guidelines were alright.

what about school, would you resign from your job to go back to school for a/another degree? I think most people would say only if they are either a) unhappy with the current job b) really want to do this degree. Otherwise, most people may not even think of going back to school. I myself fall into the same category.

And lastly, would you give up a job for someone else? (See how I can get so muh from such a simple article? needless to say I am bored at work today.). Anyways, what I mean by this is many things. Firstly, would you give up your job for your gf/bf, and then your spouse? Surely I am guessing it will depends on circumstances. But what if they just wanted you to?

It's hard for me to describe situations here, becaue every situation is different. Let's take the article example, say your spouse/gf/bf wanted/had an opportunity to go to another country, either just another country or their home country, to work or something. They want you to go with them. What would you do? You had a stable job, which in no way was harming you physically, would you leave it?

I'll share what I think on this last one in my next post. Hopefully I'll get some responses.
