Advice on quitting current job

[dent67]

Not a worthless piece of paper, the most expensive paper that I own.  And some pretty sage advice here.  Thanks everyone, I'll stick it out and learn to deal, make every minute count.

Being physically prepared is an important aspect for Infantry, but mental preparation is very important too. I gradually cut my hours of sleep to be able to be active during the day even if I sleep no more than 6 hours each night. Sure it wasn't easy at the beginning, but I used to sleep 8-9 per night and now I have 2-3 hours more everyday to go to the gym, run outside, etc.

This is in my opinion the best way for you to keep your job and prepare yourself for infantry's training. Keep in mind that we won't sleep much in St-Jean and even less in Gagetown after!

You have the time to Train, you just choose to do other things with your time.  I worked 50hrs per week and still managed to train for a Full marathon, you just need to do things like schedule your long runs and such so that it doesn't interfere with your work obligations.

Ps. Not everyone loves what they do.  Decide inside yourself to Work to live.  Make teh best of it and enjoy having money in your pocket to say, buy gym memberships and running shoes.  If you quit, you can't get EI, you will have $0 income(other then what mom and dad give you) etc.

While I empathize with your prospects of civilian "labour", do not quit your job unless you have another. All the reasons are listed above from other sages, err people. Will the grass be greener on the other side?

There is a big difference between expensive and valuable

In all seriousness, if it gets you the job you want then good for you. Although it seem most people within the military seem to think about the same of a Bachelors degree as I do, someone somewhere way higher up is unfortunately giving more and more points for formal education, so... valuable or expensive or both, eventually it'll be a Masters.
