No job is worth killing yourself with stress over. I have been there and am glad I left when I did and things worked out just fine. But you should have had a job lined up first.. But what the heck you probably won't die from this lesson.

I probably wouldn't have quit, but me going door to door is one of those things that I just am not cut out to do either. I absolutely hate doing that kind of work. Hope you find something that is satisfying to you very soon.

Come think of it, I'd check Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and any other large store.

Yeah - No. I checked out Lowes last fall and during my interview they told me that the only person in the store that made $20 bucks an hour was the store manager. They wanted me to head up the plumbing department for $12 an hour. I said thanks - no thanks.

I would quit in a heart beat if I was asked to do door to door. Did that crap back in college. Some of us just are not cut out for sales.

Sure, it's always best to have a job before you quit - but sometimes it just does not happen. Granted it was a better time for jobs - but years ago I did the same exact thing - and 5 days later had a new job , higher pay - better working conditions. So you just never know. Keep grinding away on applications and something will turn up. Sort term - the census is hiring at up to $20 an hour depending on the area.

Best of luck to you.
