Quitting: a blessing? or a reason for regret?
Just before I started my crazy new years week I quit my job. I quit at 6pm, had to stay at work till 8pm then had to pack and go go go. And till now I havent sat down with myself to think about what this means...I went to work Thursday morning just like any other day and somehow I went home a quitter. Not that I wouldnt have quit anyway but it was a decision I took VERY irrationally...very last second...very lets just get it over with. I'm not too comfortable with the decision even though it definately has been coming for a very long time. Now that I quit, I can work alot more on IPM, plus I am free to really do what I want!! But what do I want...that is the problem. I can take the job offer I got and try something totally new, I can go on an internship through AIESEC, I can pursue a better position in the same career direction that I have been in for 2 years now, I can do ANYTHING...even though that feels so liberating I feel very trapped. I feel very pressured that my next step has to be the right one this time...and to make it the right one I have to know where I want to be in 5-10 years...hmmmm

Dont regret it... sometimes you just reach your end point & cant go any further (thats how/why i quit my 1st job). Don't think that you need to know exactly which job you need to be in 5 years from now because it might be the right job but the wrong company/working environment so that even though its the best job description ever you might end up leaving...
I was working in HR (my 2nd job) -which i thought its something i really loved bcoz in @ it was gr8 then when i worked in the company i couldnt take it at all & ended up quitting! now im on my 3rd job (since june) in marketing and now im loving my job! so sometimes it takes you to try out different jobs/ different job descriptions/ different companies until you find the right thing for you...
dont stress yourself out by thinking that your next move MUST be the right one... take some time & enjoy this break while it lasts (I was too stressed out between my 1st & 2nd job to really enjoy my time & that made it even worse when i started the job bcoz i needed to relaaaaaaaaax for sometime b4 committing to a 9-5 again)... good luck ya gameela begad best of luck!
