re: How long to give a job you hate?

I waited for the first two down votes. After succeeding with my own business for 41 years and retiring a little early, his thread kinda hit home for me. You can disagree with what I say but I'm done with it. I just feel for so many young men who still have to survive in what this country is becoming. How do you think this country truly prospered for so many years? I've had hundreds of employees over the past 41 years and could tell you which would "make it" within a few days. Seriously, if you disagree with standing by your word, commitment, and integrity of character and you hold these ideas of having your way, what is most comfortable, easy, self-serving and profitable for you above it... wonder no more what is wrong with this nation. The answer is in your mirror... and you have hard times ahead. I do agree that it can depend on the initial commitment and terms...but the fundamental personal ethics should be clear in job/career matters.
