I just quit my ft job and take a pt 3-day work job, starting from today!
Back to 3 years ago, I was very unhappy and depressed becos of my job (very high pay though) and I 毅然 decided to quit my job. I took a rest for few months, then started looking for job.
Luckily, I got a chance to set up my own biz with 2 partners...the biz was good in the first year, although hard work.
However, the biz turned bad last year, not becos of the economic downturn (maybe a bit), but more becos of the super laziness of my partners.
I was very upset again last year. I again 毅然 decided to quit from my own biz. And this time, I decided to try doing part time at home and spend more time to look after my son.
Our home finance should still be 'okay' with my husband's income. However, I did question myself if this is a big 'waste' as I did earn a lot before (even more than my husband).
But my husband is right, he said "money is not the most important". Now I am willing to try try this less 豪華 living and become a dedicated mom, once in my life time (i've been ft working for 15 years) !
I also want to say, don't be 灰心 easily. It's not that hard to find a job, if you have the 決心 and 努力. Only those hard working people can have good luck. That's from my real, personal experience. Add oil!
