Quit the Varsity soccer team to chase the dream of being a bag boy at the local grocery store in 11th grade. They gave me a $.5 (five cent) per hour raise after my third week - i quickly decided that i'd rather play soccer in the afternoon instead of working for nothing, and quit on the spot.

"ma'am? - i'm quitting, to continue playing soccer"

..."but you're being promoted to a stocker next week!"

"no thank you ma'am, we're playing Shaw next week. catch you later."
