find your true passion.

Let me preface this by saying that you should not just quit your job, make sure you have a plan, make sure you know what you want. Then when you do, go for it.

Thank you for the video Niko. When I turned 18 a few months ago, I started studying to be a computer programmer (as that was my plan since i was a kid). A few months in, i realized i absolutely hated it and couldn't do it for the rest of my life. So one day I decided to sign up for school to become an emergency medical technician, and I absolutely love it. It won't pay as much as computer programming, but I'm glad I found this path I have a passion for. It really isn't about the money, it's about doing what you enjoy.

I am a Boeing aviation engineer and I am quitting my job. Not only that but I am going to expose law breaking frugal procedures and safety violations the company has been putting into effect that will most certainly impact many people's lives if it continues for much longer. Wish me luck whistleblowing!

I’ve been living for a year without a plan and it is really draining. I’m going to sit down and make one, a REAL one, ASAP. Thank you, genuinely.

Using SpongeBob as an example. Clearly a man of class. You sir just earned yourself a new subscriber.

As someone who quit at working in video editing a few years ago, this hits close to home. For a long time i thought that i had to prioritize money, so i kept writing - my true passion - as a hobby, that maybe one day i could work at. But after struggling with the editing job for 4 years, i finally decided to take the risk and start writing my own stories while i learn to draw basically from scratch, to pursue a career as a comic artist/mangaka. Right now i'm finally about to finish my first short story for an international contest, and even though is the most challenging thing i've done in my life, i feel happy with myself and the decision i took two years ago.

Great vid as always Niko :')

When he said “Do you want to be a software engineer your whole life or do you want to be a musician?” I was like “WHAT???” (Well, not that dramatic) because that’s my exact dilemma right now

[officialthomasjames]

“You’re not gonna be happy all the time, but you can be fulfilled most of the time.”

Exactly what I’m looking for in a career. Fulfillment. Work that demands the best of myself and serves a greater cause. I want to be fully engaged in what I’m doing.

After my 3 years vocational training and one year of work in a company I realized, this was not what I wanted. But I don't regret it, I found some of my best friends because of it.
After this I spent 5 years with nearly every 3-6 months a new job. After some weeks I always asked myself:
"Can I imagine myself still doing this in 10 or 20 years?" If the answer was no, it was time to quit and try something new.
Now I finally found one that I like. The last few years were really a mess, and it feels like some of the time was "wasted", but in the end the result is worth it.

Funny timing, I’m fed up with my current job and I have an interview for a more promising one at 10 tomorrow morning, please wish me luck bros

Ive been an over the road trucker for the last 5 or 6 years. I started at 20 and am turning 27 in a few months. Im finally walking out on it after years of being too afraid to take a risk on something new. Im gonna do a job just moving trailers around a warehouse, in and out of loading docks and what not. Its not glamerous and still a job involving my CDL, but ill be home every night. Ill finally have a normal life again, and with that I can start to make the inportant changes my life needs, like exercising, seeing doctors and dentists regularly, get a girlfriend, etc. I feel like ive got a new lease on life and have been radiant for a few days since I got hired at this place. My happiness isn't tied to my job, but rather my home life. I can do miserable work, but if my home life is nice, I can tolerate it. Thing is, I haven't had much of a home life in 6 years.

I neither love or hate my job but I prioritize the benefits from my workplace and being financially steady

I trained for a well paying job a few years back. Told myself to not overwork myself and instead to keep concentrating on music.

Didn't work.

Then i worked there full time for several months. Surely i would find some time and energy to make music on the side.

Didn't work.

Then i quit, got a much simpler job, less pay and only part-time.

Again, didn't work. In fact i started to develop several addictions and i was in the beginning phase of burn out/depression.

Now i'm in my second week without any job whatsoever. I'm taking it slow, but so far i've been sticking to the plan: Meditation, music and work outs. I have enough saved up to last me a while and i don't have many responsibilities. I'm still anxious and have a long way to go to become productive again, but i tell myself that every day i show up for 'work' is a success, and i'm slowly piling those successes up.

I guess the point of this comment is to show others in a similar position that drastic change doesn't equal catastrophic change. In fact i'm already feeling a bit better, although that's a slow process.

Sadly I can’t do a single one of my passions without money

[KindilVig]

niko quit his job to start evading taxes

[kwfmglh]

I hope it works out for you big man, you’ve helped me through more than you know

[ThestCentury_Guy]

I started my second job at Logan’s steakhouse yesterday (I’m a host) and it was way better than me worker at Walmart last year. My advice is to find great people to work with and of course enjoy working at your job. I’ve meet plenty of assholes in my life, but that makes me a strong person. You can’t let nothing defeat you and make you feel powerless. You have to stay strong during the dark times of your life and overcome any challenges that approach you. Whoever is reading this I want to let you know you’re amazing and you mean everything to this world. Don’t give up, stay strong and keep going!
