Orman ends 13-year run on CNBC

Roger Yu of USA Today writes about Suze Orman, whose personal finance show on CNBC is ending after 13 years on Saturday.

Yu writes, “She plans to ‘take a year or two off from TV and work on educational tools, classes, and apps’ related to personal finance, she said.

“Joined by her spouse, Kathy Travis, Orman walked into the office of CNBC President Mark Hoffman on Feb. 20 and told him she wanted to quit.

“‘By taking the initiative to recognize I needed to move on, I have had the great experience of leaving without regret or acrimony,’ she wrote.

“‘I can think of no more important career advice than to listen to your gut and to own the power to control your future. If you hate your job, that’s on you.'”
