I didn't have a choice in giving up.
It was either go for broke trying to pass the CPA exams in order to get an stable accounting job or continue to work in retail as a sales associate making a little over $8 an hour.
After passing the CPA exams I managed to land an accounting job. That helped me gained experience and move up in my accounting career.
Now I make a decent living with full health benefits and not have to worry about paying bills. And the great part, I get to work from home and get paid for it. During the pandemic, while a lot of people were either furloughed or laid off, I was still working and getting paid.
All that sacrificing, studying, and hard work paid off immensely. The great thing is that the more experience and skills you obtain, the more you are sought after by recruiters. I get contacted by recruiters much more than I have before out of the blue about open job opportunities.
If I were to give up and stick to retail years ago, I would've been miserable, broke, with a dead end and useless career. The farthest I would get in retail would be an assistant or store manager which a college student or high school senior could do.
So if you are planning to give up don't. My story alone will motivate to you pass.
