Sometimes, quitting your job goes easily. It's so simple to quit a job in college after the semester is over. Are you a senior? Are you dropping out? Nobody cares! They will get a bunch of hungry freshmen next year who are hungry to work for $9 an hour. It's a lot more difficult to quit a job where you're a vit…
