The last job that I quit - it was not good. I was working between 80-100 hours a week running a call center and mainly for physicians. Sometimes I would have to work the graveyard shift or splt the shift and go in early. There was not one day that went by that I was not cussed out or yelled at or both.

I literally burnt out. I never called in sick and always worked when needed. I was the manager - so I had to set a good example. And then one day in January - after working about 14-16 hours a day in a row for about five days, I left. And I just left - no plan, nothing. Fortunately things worked out and chances are - I would have to do it again.

That industry is one of the hardest, you do not get paid much and the employees are mainly minimum wage to put up with the things they do.

Of course with the Air Force, I did my four year and got an honorable discharge
