I quit my job today.
As was just posted a few weeks ago, I got into the insurance business. Well, today I quit. As I was making phone calls, I had my second anxiety attack while making calls. I can't do it. Our company is focused on selling insurance to senior citizens, and I just can't sell out my morals. Our nation should be taking care of these people, not a for-profit company. I can't do it. I can't make 200 phone calls a day, I can't work 10-12 hours a day without pay. I can't risk my mental health over a job that has potential to pay well.

I have an intervew tomorrow for a decent office job, though, and the interviewer is impressed with my NSA experience. :)
