Why they won't quit their jobs

G spent a lot of money on the journalism course he did. He believed in journalism back then and his parents were happy to let him follow his dream.

Now he is sick of the fakery and the make-believe. He says he can't quit because of all the money that he spent and all the money that he is making.

T says he has obligations to fulfill and he can't do them justice that if he is following his dream. He feels he can't make his parents happy if he follows happiness himself.

P says she can't quit her job because she can't bear to live in the uncertainty that comes with being self-employed. She refuses to let go of all the stress her current job piles up on her because of the money thay are paying her.

S doesn't have a job yet. He edits his resume before sending it to prospective employers. He adds 'customer compliance' into the table labelled skills.

A thinks being on his own is too much of a risk. He goes to work everyday listening to good music and then berates himself for not being able to concentrate at work because the music won't leave him.

They are all well-paid people. What more could they ask for?
