I realise this is my decision, but I'm just curious as to what most others would do if they were in this position.
I'm going to grad school in the fall. I have assets worth about $200,000. I'm working 20-30 hours a week at a crappy job. At the same time I'm trying to run high mileage and study. I'm considering quitting in order to concentrate on running and studying for several months before school starts.
Would you decide you were affluent enough and not in need of the extra (but minimal, as wages are crap - not more than about $1500 per month) money, or would you want to earn as much as possible anyway?
