When are you quitting your full-time job for school? Forum

I'm curious when everyone is planning to quit. Also, I'm curious how this scales with the # of years of WE.

I'll go first:
5 years WE. Leaving either June or July, but already mentally checked out since December.

Wished I could stay longer because I need all the money I can get, but it's probably not healthy.

I was planning on quitting in middle May, and then relax/travel for a couple of months before settling down in my new city.

Well, if I pick Michigan, it's coming up very, very soon. Otherwise, I plan on leaving at the end of July to give myself about a month.

I think my work plans to get my replacement in here by mid June, which is a good excuse to take some time off and relax/ travel/ visit family. I feel like I should be working longer, but then again, we have the rest of our lives for that and the stress involved. Probably going to get my Spanish back up to a professional level in the meantime.

July here, but I have checked out so hard. I almost feel bad for how little work I'm doing. Almost.

Probably mid-to-end July... would love to have more time off but I like my job too much!

End of May....not really quitting (teacher here) but I'm not renewing my contract.

Can't wait!

Probably June/July and totally agree with the this ...

I'm literally just looking for apartments, research COAs, and looking up things I want to do before I go to school. ALL.DAY. It's sad. haha

edit: Also 3 years of work experience

I have 3 yrs WE. I'm planning on quitting in july. I want to in June but with bills and such I dont think that would be feasible.

Moving back in with parents at the end of March; quitting at the end of May.

Quitting at the end of July...need the money!

Missed the poll, but I'm also "quitting" at the end of May. Not really quitting, because my office always hires a recent college grad for my position, and the switch between old and new always happens around the end of May.

I absolutely cannot wait for my summer off and definitely mentally checked out a while ago!

What sucks is that I have checked out during what is literally the busiest period of immigration law (H-1B cap season). I have two more months here that I need to survive, but it's getting harder and harder to care.

+1. Also, I've told my boss about my plan so he's avoiding to give me important tasks as well.

Very end of July. And I'm going directly to the beach for a week

Mentally checked out when I got into UCLA in January. Will be quitting in June, but starting an internship with the DA's office (only a couple days a week). Do some light reading, relax as much as I can.

I have four years WE and I was planning to stay until the 1st of August but I am really wondering if I will make it. I am having such a hard time caring at all and I am starting to wonder if leaving sooner on good terms would be better than staying and slacking so hard. I work at a law firm so I really would prefer to not burn any bridges.

Last day of July. But my position is through AmeriCorps, so that was going to happen regardless.

Banshee · Post by **Banshee** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 12:24 pm

Leaving my job at the end of June.

Getting married mid-July.

Moving end of July.

Busy, busy, busy...

What are people doing for health insurance in the interim?

I'm doing everything I need before hand (eyes, teeth, yearly) and then I think I will be fine for a month or two. I never go to the doctor really anyways
