Since college I've quit four well-paying jobs despite my family and friends urging me not to. I quit because the jobs were not a good investment of my time. Every day I spent at those jobs made me less valuable to the employers I desired to work for.

After quitting each job I lived from savings and worked diligently creating my own products. The products themselves were not spectacularly successful. However they did help me get my current job which is awesome.

My point: try to make sure you invest your time wisely. Jobs don't need to be perfect (none are) but they should help you advance to the next "gig" (own company, early retirement, better job etc).
