    Default Put in my 2 - Weeks notic (leaving the corporate world)

    Hey guys,

    I haven't been on here in a few weeks. Basically I've been feeling kinda up/down about my decision to put in my 2 weeks notice at work. I did it this morning. I love my job and everything that it stands for BUT this new boss that I've had for the past 2 months has really put a thorn in my ass.

    I won't get into details on him cause that will be pages upon pages of rants! But I decided to quit my 3rd shift job in order to dance more often. I don't work in a club, I do private shows/bachelor parties. And not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty dam good

    I just got tired of working my "real" job, leaving there for the day then sleeping, then going to the "dancing" job at night. I hardly had any time for myself, or to rest for that matter. School starts in a few weeks, so I feel like dancing can give me that flexibility to focus on school at least 80% of the time.

    I guess I'm just nervous. I really hope that I'm not making a HUGE mistake.

    Congratulations and good luck CK!! It'll be a bit different not having a paycheck to rely on, but you will have more energy (and motive) to work harder so I'm sure you'll rake it in

    Good Luck hun! I did that during my last year of college and it sure helped me focus some energy (that I wouldn't have had) on my last classes. I did make enough to cover the day job I quit but only when I made it a point to save at least what I would have made during the day. Stick to saving at least that much; more if you can afford it and you should be just fine.

    I'm sure you'll do well. Taking a leap like that can be nerve-wracking but I think you'll be better off in the end. You will have more time to focus on school and most likely make more money than the corpo job so you can save some too. If you continue to live within the same budget you've had with the corp job and save everything else from dancing, you'll wind up way ahead.

    Good luck!

    You can totally do it hun! I know youll do fine.
    Its scary leaving your "normal" job for this work where money is very inconsistant. I left working for my retail job at 18 after 2-3 months of dancing.

    Good luck!! I am sure this was the right decision for you! If you decide that you do want a 'day job', there will be others out there. Life is too short to be unhappy. You have the benefit of having the figure and the confidence to get out there and dance and make some good money. Good luck and keep us all posted! I hope it works out for you!!

    I feel like doing the same thing sometimes. I'm a bartender at a fine dining restaurant, and I've been wanting to leave for a while. It's very stressfull and I've been having a lot of anxiety. I even dreamed that all my teeth fell out. I feel just like saying "FUCK IT ALL!!",and just start dancing cuz at least I could feel a bit more free!!
    Good for you!!! Hope it all goes well!!!

    Thank you all for the encouraging words.

    Bridgette you're so right about saying. At my day job I make about $850-$900 per 2 weeks. The cost of living in Ohio is pretty cheap so I make due. But sheesh, I make about $200+ just working one night doing the private show gigs.

    I'm starting to feel better about my decision. I am finally doing something that I WANNA DO! I got tired of not living a normal 22yr old life, and not have a "true college experience" because I held down a full time, 3rd shift job.

    It's funny that you guys mention saving. Alot of the girls that work with me are scrammbling for money at the end of the month to pay bills. And I'm thinking umm didn't you do like 3 shows last night? Alot of them are on drugs and pills. I just don't get blowing your money on stuff like that, and then having NOTHING to show for it. I keep my distance from these trouble makers/gossipers. Doing drugs and hanging with them is not my route AT ALL so don't you gals worry.
