Should I quit my job?

I think this is a situation that is different for everyone. I had been working with the same company for almost 8 years but had not been happy with the position for almost the last two. Last Dec, due to financial problems, the company offered voluntary buyouts. I decided to take the buyout. At the time I did not expect I would still be unemployed come June but I still don't regret the decision at all. My career had stagnated and I am ready for a change.

In my opinion, you have to ask yourself if you are growing in the current position and if that growth is worth the stress and personal issues. Also you would have to really look at the finances of potentially leaving. Your husband works but how many cutbacks would you have to make if you were a full time student? Would those cutbacks be acceptable or possible? Put down the finances on paper as I believe this will make things much clearer. Spend a lot of time thinking about these types of issues before making a decision.

As I mentioned, I am still happy about my decision. I believe God does have a plan for me and being unhappy and unfulfilled in my last position was not part of the plan. Everyone is different however.

Good luck!

I would not quit. Times are tough right now, so you should try and accumulate all the wealth that you can at this point. I would suggest trying to find some sort of outlet where you can release the tension from your job. Like a new hobby or something. See if you can maybe reduce your hours, as well. Take a deep breath, relax, and realize that the job is not the end of the world.

You haven't really convinced me that it's the job at the root of your unhappiness.

Under the cicumstances, I would say that your behavior reeks of self-pity. You would be well avised to have a new plan for dealing with the blues in the future.
