I really dont think it is lack of responsibility...I think it is more of not being happy at their jobs. I cant imagine working at a job everyday that I hated. That was what happened with the Farmer's Insurance Company job. Saw no future for me since I didnt have a college degree at the time and it wasnt challenging for me so that was why I quit. Most people I know quit their jobs due to not being happy there.
