Pretend that I am you and I want to leave my job. You are probably having the following thoughts and feelings in this article and I am conveying them to you as a realization that you are not alone and it may be time for you to move on. Here goes.

The first thing I have to realize is that I cannot leave my job before I find another one. This may take some time, but it is a fact that I need a job to support myself and provide for my family and meet commitments. However, looking for a new job in my spare time will help improve my attitude, or at least, make my present situation more bearable knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel.

If I leave my job and get better one, perhaps I will look forward to getting up and going to work in the morning. Right now, I would rather call in sick everyday. The mental stress is currently affecting my health. Its funny, but when I do not go in to work, I feel much better.

There is just no satisfaction or a feeling of accomplishment at work anymore. Perhaps when I leave my job and go to another it will be more rewarding and fulfilling.

There have been talks about downsizing, or corporate restructure and layoffs. This will possibly affect me. I need more stability in my work.

Another reason I should leave my job is the boredom and the feeling of not wanting to be there. As a result, my work seems to be lacking quality. My hours are getting longer. I am tired of this kind of work.

I should leave my job because I do not respect the company I work for anymore. There was a time when I did, but things within these walls have changed. It has lost its lustre.

My work assignments seem to be changing for the worst. By that I mean they do not seem to have the importance or the urgency as they did before. I do not feel important. I should leave my job and find one where I am more appreciated.

My dream is to never having to work for somebody else again. I would like to start my own business. I could offer services or products to the public, relating to my passions and live the life I want to live.

Any of these feeling you are having are legitimate ones and should not be taken lightly. It is your life and you deserve all the happiness you strive for. But I repeat, you should not leave your job before locating another one. Doing so could be more devastating than staying where you are.

Also, if there are issues at work, communication is a key element to getting them resolved. Talk to your boss about any concerns. But, if conditions remain the same and are unlikely to change, then perhaps its time to look for work where your employer shows more concern and respect.

I understand that life will be a whole lot easier if I locate another job before leaving the one I have. In my case I've been looking for another job ever since I started this current one and haven't been receiving positive feedback from employers. This is because in the TV Industry working for a commercial station then to Public Access(I don't mean PBS) seems backwards. Public Access is regarded by commercial stations as the lowest of the todenpole. So, do I stick around at a job that offers no job growth or satisfaction or should I just take that leap of faith and dive headon into TV/video production business, which I started 3years ago.
