I am a student who decided to quit my internship this summer and work independently on various projects. Mainly because I wasn't going to learn much of anything at my job besides how to fetch coffee and run errands. Anyway, I have been getting this same reaction from a lot of people except for maybe my mom and and few close friends who know me. People just can't understand why I would ever give up a decent paying job to strike it out on my own and some people even get half hostile about it. I really think it comes from jealousy. Though, the whole work a job or your a slob thing is really engrained in people in Western PA.
