Take This JOB and. . .

More than two-thirds of all working adults want to resign from their jobs to start their own businesses, according to a study from Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks. And 84% think they would be more passionate about their work if they worked for themselves. The Mountain View, Calif.-based Intuit is doing its best to help those dreams come true. The company is giving away software, launching a new small business Web site, and holding nationwide “Just Start” events to help aspiring entrepreneurs get their businesses started. One lucky person will win $40,000 in cash and $10,000 in products and services in a business contest. Two others will receive $5,000 each. The survey also reveals the deep dissatisfaction most Americans feel in their current careers: A full 67% think about quitting their jobs on a regular or constant basis. What’s stopping them? More than half are afraid of not making enough money, and 27% just don’t think they know enough about starting and running a business. For more information, visit iwilljuststart.com
