That was genuinely inspiring and great timing for me personally. I talked my fiancee into quitting her job this week and she's turning in her notice today, for pretty much the same reasons: life's too short for her to drain her soul away at some place just because it looks good on the resume (intensive care unit at a good hospital here in SF). She's got a few other opportunities lined up already closer to her interests (reproductive health) and the pep is back in her step again. But first, we're going to concentrate on thoroughly enjoying our 3 week honeymoon!

I'm living vicariously through her - I've never quit a gig without having another one lined up, which also explains why our wedding in Aug is my first vacation in about 5 years.
