I've been considering becoming a pastry chef for the last several months.
As some of you know I have a job now. That job sucks. My boss is a rude, angry person who likes to dump a lot of extra work on me if she doesn't want to bother with it or, more likely, just doesn't know how to do it. I end up leaving at 6 or later to solve problems while everybody else is gone at 4:30. The "early shift" has been available 3 different times since I've been there but they won't give me the option of taking it because they want me there late instead, but it would just be common courtesy to make it available to me since I've been there a little while.
The company overall is horrible, people run away all the time. Over half of the entire building has turned over in the last year and a half/2 yrs. Some people don't even have jobs when they decide to leave, it's THAT bad.
There is 1 other person in the dept. that knows what they're doing and can do it fast. She tells me yesterday (apologizing for leaving me LOL) that she's giving her notice today. We already know that the company doesn't plan on replacing whoever leaves ($$$$$) so things will most certainly be getting even worse for me than they already are.
My parents passed away young, so I have about $75-80K in the bank and since (as you may know) I have no social life, I'm not exactly spending that $$$ anyways. I don't live paycheck to paycheck. It would take, who knows, 3-4-5 years (longer) before $$$ would be an issue for me.
QUESTION: Should I just quit now? I don't want to be there, every summer gets ruined by my job and this will likely be the worst one in the 3 yrs. I've been there. I'm going to be getting advice from family this weekend when I stop by delivering candies I've made, but I'd like some opinions here too.

We have 2 AA's here where I work........I keep em both busy, trust me!!
Hey, in these trying times, it's good to say we have jobs period.
I was going to say that same thing to you. I need my job, thank you very much... Everyone would be lost without us AA's!
why did you have to drag the alcoholics into this?
You live in God's country now!!
We don't have all those romantic, woodsy roads like you all have up there. In O-H-I-O all we have are boarded up factories that no longer employ anyone.....lol.
You have it made in the proverbial shade up there.....lay back, prop your feet up, grab a bottle of beer and thank the lord you're in Ohio.....oops, that's right, you're NOT......sowwy.
Enjoy your weekend.....
