Haven't posted in a while- gotta vent to someone!
So, my husband & I have been married over 2 yrs. We're talking about when would be a good time to TTC, but here's the thing........I want to quit my job & start my photography career.
Is is dumb of me to leave my job during this economic crap that's going on? If I didn't love the people I worked with, I would've left a year ago!! But honestly, I only see my DH on Sundays. I work 6 days a week & am just soooooo bored there. I'm not happy unless I'm behind a lens snapping pics, and I just don't know if it's the right time to make a move like that just yet. Should I just do it? He supports me with wanting to leave my job, even though 2 incomes are better.
If you've read up till this point, thank you for listening. I just had to get this out!

If your chasing after your dream, you've got to run faster!!!!! I love that motto.
Start planning it out. I wouldn't quit now but I'd start a plan and make some goals for yourself.
Good luck!!!!

I agree, but you need a plan before you quit. Have the details first then quit, IMO.

I would work on my photography career while working at my job until I have gotten it to the point where it's income producing to at least cover your expenses.

Re: Haven't posted in a while- gotta vent to someone!
I knew I was going to switch career when I was TTC. I stayed at my company until I gave birth. There was no way I could work especially in my last trimester while PG. I had paid sick days and paid maternity leave at my old job. I left my company when DS was 4.5 months and switched career then. I had prepared my exist, networked, etc....

If you look over on parenting with the all the prof. photos posted I would say if you are good you could be ok! I would like a previous poster said try it out while you are working and make an exit plan, start saving and living on 1 salary. Good luck!

Re: Haven't posted in a while- gotta vent to someone!
Its a rough situation for everyone and I understand how you feel. We're just married and were planning on TTC but DHs job is not as safe as we though. I always assumed that I would work overtime to make up some of the difference but that's not an option. I know we're not thinking of TTC with our situation right now.
For you I agree with the previous posters. I think it would be a good idea to keep working and start the photography on the side, at least for now.
