Thank you for your reply and encouragement.
Exactly, one should have other source that's at least bringing income before quitting the main one.
I've tried my hand at self-media and photography, and I'm currently a part-time photographer. I'm also helping a friend with online marketing for virtual credit cards. In short, I'm still trying and failing.
I disliked my previous project management job because it was in the internet industry, where layoffs were frequent. I often had to communicate about layoffs, which was extremely painful for someone as sensitive as me, so I chose to resign. However, I must say that the project management work provided me with very important management thinking. I found that I could apply project management thinking to many things. Now I'm still learning through trial and error.
You're right, this is probably what the Chinese proverb means by "riding a donkey while looking for a horse," haha. Perhaps the decision to quit without a backup plan was a bit impulsive, but I don't regret it. I'm trying many things and learning from my mistakes quickly.
Yes, I'd rather sleep on the floor than not be my own boss, haha. I'm really tired of office life and want to try starting my own business. I think learning how to make money online is a great idea. Although the income might be low at first, at least I won't be anxious because of work pressure. I want to maintain both my career and my mental health, haha. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll take a closer look at this post when I have time.
That's right, thank you for your reply and encouragement.
Income might be low as first, maintain my career...
You're right, making money and working a 9-to-5 job aren't mutually exclusive; I completely agree. What I meant to express in my reply was that my previous job was very stressful, so I disliked the work environment, not the 9-to-5 job itself. That's why I quit. Now I earn less, but at least I'm free and don't have much work pressure. I feel like you misunderstood my meaning.
