Did I make a good choice?

I decided to quit my minimum wage job with nothing lined up, because it was just mentally draining. The job isn't hard, but with new management It feels worse that it was before. (Going from a hands off management to strict hands on by the book management) The job offers no benefits to my future career, the people I have no real attachment to, and it's become more restricted in what freedoms we have with standing at the front desk our whole shift.

As I finish out my last two weeks, I'm wondering if I'm making the right choice because of the lack of income I'll have. I live with family for now so I won't be homeless or starving but my family also has negative ways that can bring a person down when they make choices that sound bad. I've been working minimum wage jobs since I was 20, and are in school to start a career. Corporate America sucks and I'd rather be helping people who need it than lining someone else's pocket. Purpose rather than complacency.

Would anyone have any advice or comments?
