I’m somewhat in the same boat. I got this really fancy job with a big fortune 500 company — and to put it plainly I hate it. Whenever I talk to my friends about my business ideas, I get so happy and excited. I know I’m not doing the right thing by staying here, but it is expensive to live in California. Even if I did have a $15K safety net it wouldn’t last me very long. *sigh* I just need one spark of motivation and I’m off. Well buddy, I’m glad you’re doing your thing. Handle it!
