All of this talk makes me worried about my situation. I quit my job in order to start training for a new position, and the new job is more suited to want do with my life. The training started on Monday, but the new job starts in mid-January. The training itself pays more than what my old job did (and the new job would put even more), but I'm not 100% guaranteed to get it, so if I don't get it, I'm fucked. But I was going nowhere with my old job with its low pay, so I feel like i had to take the risk...
