The 5to9

The 5to9

By Declan Wilson

I used to be the guy who told everyone to leave their job to follow their dreams and passions and blah, blah, blah. "Who wants to die shackled to their cubicle? I’m pretty sure I said that at one point. When I left my full-time job in 2017 to do God-knows-what, I even bragged about it. I really shouldn’t have, that decision put me $26,000 in debt, emotionally scarred, and a bit more jaded about than a 30-year-old should be. (I’m all better now, thanks for asking.) I guess what I’m trying to say is, don’t quit your 9-to-5. Start a 5-to-9 instead.
