辞职前你应该考虑的7件事

Do you dread waking up on Mondays? Your office cubicle feels like a prison cell for 8 hours. You feel like a hamster on a wheel just doing the same mind-numbing work. Many people share these same feeling since most people are not satisfied with the work they do.

每个周一都是很不情愿的醒来？待在办公室的隔间里就像是待在监狱。感觉像只不断重复着相同工作的小老鼠。因为很多的人都不满足于目前自己从事的工作，所以有很多人都有相同的情感。

You may see things about finding your dream job or follow your passion in the work you do. There is great information out there about these concepts and it is certainly possible to follow your dreams. But before you do here are seven things to think about before doing anything drastic.

在你目前从事的工作中你可能会找到你喜欢的事情，施展你对工作的才情。关于这些概念这里有很多的信息，这些对你追梦都可能是有用的。但是，在你做出大的变动之前，你得先考虑这7件事。

Keeping The Lights On

心中有一盏明灯

What is the difference between a guitar player and a large pizza? The pizza can feed a family of four. That is an old joke and not necessarily a funny one but you get the point. It may be appealing to quit the job you hate and become a traveling musician or famous blogger. But can these pay the bills for basic necessities in life?

吉他手和披萨之前有什么区别？披萨能使一家人不挨饿。这是一个老的笑话，不好笑，但是道理是这样的。你想放弃你不喜欢的工作，做一个音乐流浪人，或者成为一个有名的博客写手。但是这些能保证生活最基本的开支吗？

It is a basic fact that you need to work to make ends meet. As long as you are able to work, you need to provide for yourself and your family. Staying in the job you hate provides an underlying sense of responsibility that can serve you well later.

一个最基本的事实就是：你需要工作来保证最基本的开销。只要能工作，你就得养活你自己、养活你的家人。坚持做你讨厌的工作能保证你以后的生活。

Long Term Goals

设立长期的目标

We live in a time that is different from the work models our parents and grandparents worked in. Years ago career progression was linear. You chose a profession and advanced in that job area. You could be working in a job you hate because you had to.

我们的工作模式和父母或者祖父母那个年代的工作模式不一样。许多年前的职业发展是流线型的。你选择了一种职业，你也得在那个领域做到很好。即使你不喜欢那种工作，但是你也得做那份工作。

Times are different now. You may have a long term goal to work in a job you are passionate about, start a business or work from home as a freelancer. The internet has provided limitless information that anyone can learn a new skill or make a career change.

时代已经不同。对你喜欢的工作，也许你已经有一个长期的目标，创业或是在家做一个自由职业者。只要你想学习一种新的技能或是改变事业规划，网络都为我们提供了大量的信息。

These types of changes can take time to be able to replace your current income. Put a plan in motion and set a date when you want to make a change that is realistic. When you look back you will appreciate how staying in your crummy job helped in the long run.

这种改变可能需要一段时间才能改变你目前的收入。当你想要实实在在的做些改变的时候就做一个比较灵活的计划，在给这个计划设立一个期限吧。能长足发展的话，你会珍惜你目前所从事的这份恼人工作的时光。

Pay Off Your Debt

清偿债务

There are so many great opportunities in life that people can take advantage of. But for many these opportunities are limited because of debt. There are probably things you would rather be doing instead of using your income to pay credit cards or student loans.

生活中人们有很多可以抓住的机会。因为债务的关系，很多的机会我们都只能看着它溜走。与其用你的工资去偿还学生贷款或是信用卡债务，你可能宁愿选择做其他的一些事。

But imagine your life without these financial burdens. Having financial freedom gives you the flexibility to do things you want to like travel, dining out to new places, and trying new things. Being able to pay off debt lets you do this. Your job is the vehicle to make this possible.

但是设想一下你生活中没有债务会是什么样。没有债务压力，你可以做很多你想做的事比如：旅行、在新开的餐厅品尝美食，试试一些新奇的东西。清偿债务之后你就可以这样。你现在的人去就是让这一切变得有可能。

Facing The Unpredictable

正视一切不可预料的事

The recent recession has changed many aspects of life and work. Retirement as it was recognized for years has become a thing of the past. People are working longer in life than the previous generation.

最近的经济大萧条改变了生活、工作的很多方面。退休就像多年前那样已经成为了过去。人们比前几代人的工作期都要长。

Working in a job you hate may mean being miserable in exchange for being secure. But that security can be the platform of something great. You can work on your dream career and still have peace of mind to concentrate on those dreams.

为了工作的稳定而一直做你不喜欢的工作也是一种痛苦。但是这种工作也有一定的好处。你可以在你喜欢的工作中奋进，同时也能用平常心来关注你的梦想。

Oh, Those Benefits

哦，还是有好处的

In the book The Freelancers Survival Guide there is one overarching theme that author Kristine Rausch stresses you need: health insurance. As human beings, we are not indestructible. Family members become ill. Sometimes we need to care for ill or disabled family members.

在《自由职业者的生存守则》一书中，作者克瑞斯汀 荣思琪强调：健康保险。作为一个人类，我们不是坚不可摧的。家人会生病。有时我们生病也需要照顾，或许也有残疾的家人要护理。

Benefits provided in your job may give you the ability to deal with these issues. What if your wife was pregnant and you did not have insurance? Benefits in a job you hate can help make life a little easier.

工作给你的好处就是能赋予你解决这些问题的能力。要是你妻子怀孕了，但是你又没有保险怎么办？你不喜欢的工作能给你带来的好处就是让这些问题变得更简单。

Your Job You Hate Gets You To The Job You Love

你讨厌的工作会让你得到你喜欢的工作

People recognize the name Stephen King. Back when he was a struggling writer, no one really knew him other than as an English teacher. In fact, the book Carrie was rejected by publishers over 25 times. It was his experience as an English teacher that gave him the skills to be a great writer while providing for his family.

众所周知的史蒂芬 金。当他还是一个苦苦挣扎的作者时，除了英语教师的身份，没人认识他。事实上《凯莉》被出版商拒绝了25次。那是他作为一个英语教师的一段经历，他能维持家庭开支的时候也学着成为一个好作家。

Think about ways your current job can help you. Maybe you’re in a position where you feel like there is too many chiefs and not enough subordinates. You have this dream to own your a business. The truth is, a business owner answers to customers, vendors and investors. That job where you answer to everyone can be great experience for becoming an entrepreneur.

思考目前的这份工作能帮到你的。也许目前你感觉你有很多的上司却没有很多的下级同事的境地。你想着开创你自己的事业。这个事实就是，商人处理着顾客的问题，也要处理好供应商，投资者的关系。这份工作需要你你应付所有人，但这段经历对你日后成为一个企业家也很不错。

Discovering Transferable Skills

发现可迁移的技能

Most jobs have some form of worker evaluation that measures performance in a variety of areas. You may be in a job you hate and loath these appraisals of your work. However the feedback you get from these can be valuable for future career goals.

在不同的工作领域的大多数工作都有一些相同的工作评价。也许你不喜欢这份工作，不愿意评价这份工作。但是从中得出的反馈意见对你将来的职业目标是很有益处的。

An employee evaluation and feedback from bosses and peers can be a good way to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Look at what areas you excel in. Those assets can be the basis for career growth in another field.

从老板和同事那里得来的反馈信息能让自己清楚自己的优缺点。看看哪些方面是你擅长的。这些财富是你在另一个领域发展的基础。

Taking the leap and quitting your job immediately may be fulfilling in the short term. But there are long-term considerations to consider for you and your family. With a well thought out plan of action, the job you hate could lead to something you love

辞掉一份工作，或者做些改变在短时期内是可以的。但是你要为你的家人做些长远的打算。三思而后行，你不喜欢的工作也能给你带来一些你喜欢的东西。
