Should You Quit Your Job to See the World?
It’s tempting to quit your job to see the world, and many people are starting to do it. In as much as you love to travel, you can’t do it due to conflict with your work. Even if you try to move things around, you can’t do much. Besides, even when you’re on a trip, work-related tasks will continue to bother you. Therefore, the idea of leaving your job to go on a trip doesn’t seem so bad after all.
Before you decide to resign from your post, make sure you have an alternative plan. You can’t consider quitting when you are yet to have another income source. You still have bills to pay. You must carve out a plan that allows financial stability. Besides, going on a trip requires you to spend a lot. When you don’t have a plan, it can be a disaster.
What are your options?
If you want to commit to a life of traveling the world, you should look into starting a vlog. It allows you to document your trips and share them to many people. You can also provide tips in visiting different places and what to expect upon arrival. Most vloggers earn from their channels based on the number of views. If you gain enough followers, it’s easier to earn more. You might also be asked to advertise various products on your channel. It’s also another money-making scheme. Since you have unique experiences, you may consider writing a book. If there are people willing to spend time watching your videos, they will do the same for your books.
If you don’t want to start a vlog, you can find online jobs. You can be a writer, editor, graphic designer, web programmer, and many others. The good thing about working online is you can do it wherever you are. The world is your office. You can also make money as you travel. You have a more flexible schedule. As long as you have a good internet connection, you can keep working. Of course, you have to work more to earn more. You have a trip to pay and you will feel limited if your job can’t pay the bills.
Think about your decision
Before you decide to leave your job, make sure you’re confident about the path you’re going to take. There’s nothing wrong about planning to see the world. Life is short, and you don’t want to waste the opportunity. However, you’re also sacrificing your career. When you get tired of traveling, you will get back to your previous industry. You won’t find a decent job anymore since you’ve been out of work for a long time.
Traveling offers an opportunity to have a rich life experience. Make the most of it. Whether you decide to do it during your free time or as a full-time adventure, it’s your choice. Be wise with what you’re going to do and pursue what will make you happy and fulfilled.
