To be honest, I would quit this industry only if forced. I love it.

About the only other career I think I could like as much as this would be with an outfit like 'Weekly World News' or one of the others, making up stories like "3000 Year Old Mummy Pregnant - Museum Caretaker Admits He's the Father" or "Woman Grows Two Feet Overnight - She's So Tall, We Had to Tilt Her Picture to Get it On the Page" (accompanied by elongated picture of a woman in a bathing suit, placed diagonally corner to corner on the front page). I know you all probably think I'm kidding, but really - think how much fun that would be. I wonder if they take freelance.
