I might have to bite this bullet and take a pay cut. I've been looking for jobs around what AT&T use to pay me (though in reality that wasn't much compared to what I want) but I have no experience in other industries that pay as much. This just solidifies the fact for me that I need to hop into a masters program or find a way to successfully create something for myself. Unemployment is depressing but it's also eye opening to those harsh realities of live you take for granted. Oh well I made a decision to quit, whether wise or not I stand by it. Lol sorry to vent, y'all.
