I took a job at the office I work for now, leaving a retail job that I hated. I started out making $.50 less than I was at the bookstore. However, I knew that I would have more opportunity to move up at the office job. So, it was a good thing to leave my old job. My dad always used to tell me that I should never love a job so much that I wouldn't leave it for a new and better opportunity. He was a wise man.
