    I might go one shift just to see if it gets better. Fortunately that has never happened to me other than some household chores.

    I worked one day at a commercial laundry. Another job at a sugar beet/ sugar factory lasted 2 weeks. I was hired by the Ohio State Highway Patrol as a maintenance man, but never actually started. (perhaps a dumb choice because I coulda been retired with a nice state pension 15 years ago)  I was a golf caddie as a teen, I went 9 holes and quit.

    When your anxious before you go and depressed when you leave.  That kind stress can lead to serious health problems, including stroke and a heart attack.

    I know I have quit over 100 jobs if not more, in my lifetime.  (way more, actually)

    So, it depends.  I have a lot of reasons, a lot of regrets and there is no one-size- fits -all answer.  25 percent of them were jobs I could KILL myself for leaving.   The rest?  Meh.  Probably a good reason why I walked out.  Waste of time, that type of thing.
