When Should You Quit Your Job?

Moe Taxes asks: "I want to hear from Slashdot readers who have quit jobs or turned down offered jobs because it was not what they wanted to do. Why did you do it? Was it ethics, ambition, pride, or disgust? And how did it turn out? Did you get to do what you wanted to do, are you still looking, or did you come back begging for another chance? I have always written software for windows, but never with Microsoft tools. I don't feel like I have enough control over the product when I use Microsoft programming environments. My company was bought recently, and is in the process of becoming a C# VisualStudio shop. I said thanks, but no thanks and left. Am I a fool for giving up steady work and good pay?"

Liberal (adj.) - open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.

Figures a conservative wackjob like you would bring up the dictionary definition of Liberal.(the joke is in the dictionary definition of conservative) :P

(Actually, neither the naieve, childish "liberals" nor the ignorant, selfish, childish "conservatives" fit either worldview in my opinion. They're so far up their own asses that both traditional views of liberalism and conservatism are now thrown under the wierd blanket term "moderate", while the radical nutjobs without any real affiliation to the philosophy they espouse hijack the words to mean things they were never meant to mean....)

but I digress...
