I've quit jobs for lesser things and I've never regretted it. Our jobs take up the majority of our time and energy while on this Earth, so if you're not doing something you enjoy, you have all the rationale you need to quit and find something better. And if you can't find something better, create something better.
Robert E. Fulton, a man who as a teenager was the first to ride around the globe on a motorcycle, already invented the flying car in 1945. He called it the Airphibian. In 1950 he flew it to Washington D.C. where he landed and then drove it to the Civil Aeronautics Association where it was certified for use. It traveled 110 mph in the air and 55 mph on the ground, and changed between car and plane in five minutes due to its simple system for removing the wings and propeller. Charles Lindhberg flew it and declared it "an improvement." It never did well commercially and sold only under 600 total. There is only one remaining today. It is in the Smithsonian.

What is Slashdot's Microsoft icon? Is that supposed to be a cyborGates, or is a planet smashing into his head?
