Would you quit your current job/school if you've just won 100M?

[Eska]

Inspired by the other thread...

Would you?

 

[JohnAn2112]

I would definitley quit my current job, but I'd still work. I'd probably find something that I like to do and do it without having to worry about salaries, benefits, etc.

 

[GhettoFob]

yes

 

[necine]

I'd stay in school. But I would take my time with it and enjoy it. I would quit my job in seconds of winning.

 

[Slew Foot]

I would quit so fast it qould make your head spin. Initially I wouldnt work, maybe later I'd do something different or unique.

 

[Eeezee]

No, I have 6 more years of school until I get my PhD. If you have a PhD and 100 million dollars, people assume that you may deserve the money or at least will spend it wisely Of course this isn't true, a PhD does not mean you have frugality or common sense.

Still, I always wanted to get my PhD, and in maybe 6 more years I'll have it. I'm about to graduate with my bachelor's, which is just the first step After obtaining my PhD, I'd probably teach high schoolers or something.

 

[EKKC]

yes, with a whole different attitude. one where i wouldn't give a rat's ass if i were fired. office-space style. that would be awesome.

 

[Art Vandelay]

10M? Not sure if I'd quit.

100M? Yes and I would pursue VCism.

 

[RedArmy]

Hells yeah I would. The primary goal in my life is to graduate college and then go on to make mad money. If I had a 100 million dollars, I'm basically fast forwarding my life (to a point) without losing any time. Some people may say that you get a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment out of getting a diploma or degree, however, my satisfaction goes up for sale around 50 million.

 

[LordMaul]

I'd quit my job, work on my home business, keep going to school and hire a bunch of people to put more time into my business.

 

[Umberger]

My current plans are to stay in school and get my Masters in Mechanical Engineering. If I won the lottery, I would stay and get my PhD in ME. Then, I would do whatever I felt like. If I've got my whole life ahead of me, it's worth the few years to get the sweet education. (Plus, Dr. Umberger sounds cool)

p.s. - I'm actually considering getting the PhD anyway, I just have to find someone to pay for it

 

[IAteYourMother]

don't be a fool, stay in school

 

[Excelsior]

I'd continue with school.

 

[nageov3t]

I'd totally quit my job. I'd probably quit even if I just won 1M.

I'd love to have the freedom to not work for a couple years and pursue my phd full-time.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

I'd quit instantly.

Lots of golf to be played and the whole world in which to play it. Me and my brand spankin' new Gulfstream wold go wherever I felt like.

 

[AbAbber2k]

I graduate in less than two weeks so uh... no. And I'd still work... part time.

 

[FallenHero]

Quit, go back to school, travel the world for a couple years, then start working again in the same career.

 

[BillyBatson]

yes i would quit school and never get a job again but i would do other things like travel the world then come back and using what i learned/saw open a restauraunt (i do not cook but i know what i like to eat and it could be fun running even if it was just to have your friends come have lunch with you every day) and probably open up a cool/fun comic book/video game store, it prob wouldn't make money but it would be fun and something to do like a hobby

 

[FoBoT]

no way, i could say/do whatever i wanted without fear
if they didn't like it, they could fire me i guess

 

[Stuxnet]

ROFL

Not only would I quit, they'd have to have me escorted from the building to stop the "show".

"SUCK IT B!TCHES!!!!!!"

After I got all that pent up frustration out of my system, I'd actually go back to school and pursue a career because it's something I enjoy, not because it pays well.

 

[edro]

Yes, and I would pursue my life long dream of owning an internet porn site.

 

[zebano]

I would quit my job, and pursue a masters in Mathematics, after I traveled around the world and made some suitible investments of course.

 

[Danman]

Hmm...I'd probably cut my hours in half, work only 20 hours a week to see how it feels. I like working, I have a (sometimes) challenging job. I guess if I don't want to work anymore, I just could get up and leave whenever I got sick and tired of it.

 

[Vegitto]

I'd probably be able to pay for college, so no, I wouldn't drop out of school.

 

[funboy6942]

I would quit working for the man and invest some of the money into something I would like to do for the rest of my life I can call my own, to keep more money rolling in for my family, my family's family, and so on...

Just so no one that carries on my last name will have to worry about struggling through life as I did when the 100mil runs out. Dont want to much so no one will think they wont have to work and become spoiled little brats, but start something to get passed on from generation to generation that will bring in enough they can live a good live and provide what is neededas far as food, clothing, home, and schooling, for their children.

I think you understand my point
