　　George’s case is not rare. In the last fifteen years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life. Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among then. A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security if provided.

　　Some people, like George, have quit a job that was demanding too much from them. Others couldn't stand the pressure and the competition. A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies (过敏) that made her life miserable. She had two children and no savings, but her worries about her future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind. Her health improved. She may never work again; if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.

　　Some people, on the contrary, have given up a career that was boring or meaningless to them. An office employee who has been doing paperwork for many years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything. An engineer in large company, knowing that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual. Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.
