When this happens with a job, it is often because an individual feels like their chosen career gives them a sense of purpose that far outweighs the downsides. The thing with work-related mistakes, though, is that they cost money as well as time.
This is something that one husband became increasingly frustrated with after his wife took a 100% commission sales job and proceeded to make no money with it for nine months. Spending less time caring for their three kids and more time locked away in her office, she accused her husband of being unsupportive when he suggested that she was not spending her time productively.
The man wanted to have her back, but he felt that the circumstances were making that increasingly difficult. He wanted to know if he was in the wrong.

Stay-at-home mom starts commission-only sales job, husband gets annoyed when she makes $0 in 9 months: 'As soon as I'm home, she's MIA until dinner time'
Learning when it's time to quit is a valuable skill to have in life.
Not everything is going to work out the way that we hoped, and that's OK. Knowing when to walk away from something that is not serving us is important, as it can do more harm than good when it is allowed to carry on unabated.
When it comes to weighty topics like relationships, jobs, or money, having a clear idea of the point of no return is even more important. Spending too much time pursuing these things with little in the way of reward can have consequences that are far greater than you may expect.
Unfortunately, when somebody has invested a lot of time and energy into something, it makes it a lot less likely that they are going to stop believing in it. It doesn't matter if everyone else can see the disaster coming from a mile away; they are committed to it.
