Congratulations! You said you were feeling unhappy at work and now you've taken a positive step to deal with that. Adventurous times ahead I suspect. Good luck.
Good luck too you on this new adventure. Not really surprised after some of your posts. Do you have specific plans or oportunities lined up or are you just winging it?
If the Rocketts saw your knees recently they would prolly worry about you tripping and knocking over the whole chorus line. Just say'in. LOL
As someone who has been a disposal member of the labor force, i can tell you, i have never regretted quitting a job. Even being dismissed from an unpleasant job is liberating. The form of the dismissal is sometimes gravely disgusting, but the release is the unburdening of a great weight. Some jobs, when i knew the end was coming, the last days i was with lightened spirit.
Of course the big drawback is finances, if you learned to squirrel away you will be all right. Often not working, you will have less expenses and the freedom to do what you please, and the freedom to do nothing at all is enjoyable.
But American culture demands that one works and makes money (only some of which comes to you). This pushes one to depression. No, think of freedom. When work is like slavery, and emotional torture — Deliverance, precious release, is what one needs.
