<prompt> Human: Without going into too much detail, Ive been at my job for 3 years now and was offered a management position about 2 years ago. That promotion never happened. Last week the new GM was doing reviews and everyone expected me to get promoted but instead I got a .25 cent raise and 3 other people got promoted over me all of which actually told the GM they thought I should have been promoted. And yes, Im serious when I say this. A .25 cent raise is supposed to make up for all the responsibility still falling on me all day, training people who will get promoted over me, and being held to higher standards than anyone in management. I want to quit this place within the next few weeks, before these people are even done training. Ill give my notice but I want to start the process as quick as possible. I dont have another job lined up but I am looking and applying and even if it takes me a while, I have almost 40,000 in savings. What I want to do if I quit is take an online course Ive been looking at for years now. I just turned 25 and have yet to go to college and I feel like right now Im ready for it and now know what I want to do. I know quitting your job without another one lined up is taboo but technically Id be quitting it to start school. Is it still a stupid idea to walk away from a job after 3 years even though its clearly not getting me anywhere? I guess the TL;DR version: 25 years old with 40,000 in savings wants to quit my job without another one lined up and start college  <response>: You are infinitely more employable if you currently have a job. A lot of companies nowadays wont even give you an interview if you are unemployed. That sucks, but its reality. If you are doing an online course, you dont need to quit your job to go to college because you can generally log in whenever you want to and do the work. Keep the job, simultaneously look for a different one if you want, and take classes at the same time. Maybe look at getting hired at a fast food place that provides tuition assistance as well. Starbucks, TGI Fridays, Arbys, etc.
