I'm proud to say I once quit a job so that I could go to a U2 concert. I worked 2nd shift in a factory, I was 19, and the Elevation tour was coming my way. I had tickets to Columbus and Indianapolis. I went to ask for the Columbus show off first, thinking I'd figure the Indy show out later. My supervisor said "you've been here for only 2 months and you're asking for TIME OFF???!!! I DON'T THINK SO!!!" So I tried to get the guy who worked 1st shift to trade me spots for the concerts. He said "NO", because he had to be home from work by the time his kids got off the school bus, which I can totally understand now that I'm a father and a real adult, but back then I thought "LAME"!!!
So I did the only thing a hardcore U2 fan in my position would do. I QUIT! But I was only 19 and had nothing to lose. I quit, I went to those 2 shows and savored every second, and then I reassessed my options and went to college the next year, and put myself on the path to where I am today.
The lesson here is this; quit your job for U2 concerts!
Yeah nearly 15 years later I wouldn't be giving this advice to kids. The job market has changed significantly. But telling kids to go to college is always good!
