Ps. You're right to put this under character - it can sometimes take a huge amount of courage, overcoming fears, guts, etc. to really give up a comfortable, safe, but soul-crushing job to go out into the world to search for a life and career that you truly love. I know when I decided to quit my job, just about everybody in the real world, such as my family and my friends, felt that I was making a huge mistake and couldn't understand why I was doing what I was doing. In their eyes, I finally had a respectable job in a strongly growing field at a respectable company, working at one of the best job ever, enjoyed my job more then almost any other job I had, made way more then the jobs I held the last 8 years, and could expect to get a 50-100% payraise just to agree to stay another year, etc. However, I had to walk away from it to pursue something I would love to do, whatever that turns out to be.
