...would you quit your job?

I wouldn't. I love my job too much. I know I'll never make it rich, but I find working with children so much more rewarding than having all the fancy luxuries, vacations, and stuff. I'm sure I'll be rich in Heaven

catlover79 · 02-07-2009, 12:14 PM

Good question...I'd have to get back to you on that.

MonarC · 02-07-2009, 12:45 PM

No doubt about it. Id buy my own island and live happily ever after.

MickeyMac · 02-07-2009, 03:58 PM

Well I dont have a job anymore but I would so quit my previous gig for that kind of bread. I would stash a bunch away to live off of for a spell.

HuntingtonM15 · 02-07-2009, 04:10 PM

I'd finish my degree since I only have a semester and a half left after this. However, I don't think I'd then go pursue a career.

Zoneboy · 02-07-2009, 04:58 PM

I'd continue to sell on eBay because it would be my luck that Uncle Sam would need my winnings for another bailout.

dawsongirl · 02-07-2009, 10:57 PM

No...what I'd do is buy the place, turn it private, and FIRE OTHER PEOPLE. mwahahahahahahaha

Dutabi84 · 02-07-2009, 11:05 PM

Multibillion

I'd buy the Vikings a new stadium, and have it named after me.

Then I'd probably just spend a bunch of my time playing high stakes poker, and attend all kinds of sporting events.

OH Nuts! · 02-07-2009, 11:48 PM

Well I'd keep 2 homes - one here in NYC and one in Paris

I'd:

hire me a to-die-for French tutor and become fluent in the language

also hire somone or go back to school to become fluent in Spanish

channel Brooke Astor and set up some kind of foundation for charitable giving.

I'd pick days to do something serendipitous where I would give $50 or $100 away to people who deserved it (like folks working on a holiday for example) a secret Santa kind of thing

Janice · 02-07-2009, 11:58 PM

I wouldn't work. I'm not rich, and I don't work. I figure 26 years in the work force is sufficient. I'm done. Retired in my 40s, lol.

Hollow · 02-08-2009, 12:15 AM

yeah, i'd drop out of college and quit volunteering (the latter is just a resume builder). though i'd probably invest in music school just for the fun of performance experience and enhancing my skills.

sara · 02-08-2009, 12:53 AM

I'd quit but I would put in my two weeks first, it would be inconsiderate not too.

Janice · 02-08-2009, 01:26 AM

I would put my money to good use, and help homeless animals, poor families, children in need. I guess I'd be the CEO of those organizations.

Brieannas21 · 02-08-2009, 01:59 AM

No, I would not quit, I love my job and I need to work for my own sanity, I cannot sit home all day long. Although I would cut down on the amount of hours that I work.
