Do you like your job?

Cd_doe

Well as the title says, do you like your job?
Or do you dread going to bed in the evening knowing you must go into the same place tomorrow?

Do you only work there because you believe you have to?

Would you change your profession if you could??

The Backwards Man

Absolutely totally completely love it.

How about you OP?

Ten of Swords

I'm fortunate - I love my job. Not going to discuss what it involves but I know I'm lucky as plenty of my friends hate what they do and openly admit to being stuck because they need the money and there are no other jobs available.

I like my work when we're busy. Otherwise no.

So, i plan my holidays for the winter months when we're not.

I love my current job. 13 quid and hour and 6 hours a night weekdays
But I am a mechanic by trade and I loved that even more. Getting to work with new and old model cars. I do miss it

I have the best job ever, when I am working. But a lot of the time they keep us on the bench waiting for the next project and even though I get paid I feel like committing suicide when I am stuck at home with nobody to talk to.

doyle61

I love my job, it's some of the gobsh!tes I have to work/deal with that I have a problem with

...but I hated my previous one with a large US multinational in a very demanding role which I should have got out of sooner.

But the money was good.

I'm the same with my current job. But the money is mediocre and the job is shyte. Working my ass off in full time college to get a better job.

Wanderer2010

My job isnt too bad as in the work is not that difficult, however the nasty gosspipy people I work with make it a pain at times. Thankfully there are a few really decent people there and the money is v good so Im staying put for now. Bills and holidays dont pay for themselves.

af_thefragile

Aint got no job to like yo!

andrew1977

I did enjoy my career path for the first 10 years or so, now not sure if I want to stay at the same job going forward, my role has changed slightly in the past few months and I have zero interest or motivation in the new tasks put my way, no choice at moment due to recession .

Big few months ahead for me, weighing up my finances and options to go back to college in the evenings to learn something new.If i am going to do it, it has to be this year, as i am in my mid thirties now.

I hear you on the gosspipy people..but all in all I love my job and would be devastated to lose it..9-5 can't be beaten..had jobs involving shifts before and they fcuk up your life

Alter-Ego

I work in customer service...

Potential-Monke

Like my job, hate where i'm working.

illuma

I don't really like my job but I do like the people I work with. They're a mad shower.

fishfarmer

I love my job. There is boring stuff that has to be done everyday but when all that is done it feels like I'm just playing.
I also get to live in beautiful part of the world, right on a beach.
I don't think the work is for most people, we never actually leave work, literally because we live on site.

michellie

I like my job, I work part time and the pay is good . Dealing with the public is hard though, its the worst thing about the job. There are lovely people too but the assholes just cross out the nice ones.

The Cool

Yeah I quite like my job, it's in the field I did my masters in and in exactly 12 months I've gone from unpaid intern to senior project manager. Makes me feel big and important

Is 'Senior Project Manager' code for 'office boy'?

Crooked Jack

I used to, but then our paper was bought over by a shower of greedy, ignorant, pig headed scumbags who have been destroying it bit by bit for the past two years. they tore the heart out of the place, nobody cares any more and im just pickin up my cheque and countin down the days until i go to canada

retroactive

Litigation. Mortgage arrears.

Local-womanizer

Yes and no. Each day is different, I learn new skills everyday, get to do some very cool sh/t and get paid for it and have many opportunities available to me should I want to avail of them.

The downsides are I am rarely home, the hours are very long and there is a degree of sh/t you have to put up with.

In comparison to other jobs I've worked its 100x better in fairness.

pharmaton

Love one of them.

looking_around

nope but I'm switching to something, I hope, will be more fun

starlit

I dont have one at the mo wished i did but one of my previous jobs i loved it!

propertyefc

if reporting foreigners who commit welfare fraud several times a week is counted as a job...then i love my job

LoonyLovegood

I dislike my job Monday to Friday, but love the people I'm working with. Saturdays are gorgeous though

Haha! Nope, it means I went from getting other people's coffee to getting people to get mine. Win!

Big Nasty

Six months ago I was in a job that paid quite well but I fookin hated. Stressed to fook every day, stressed in the evenings about the next day in work, stressed at the weekends about the next week in work. Left it for a job I enjoy with half the pay but I don't mind getting up in the morning for. In time I will move up the ladder and get closer to what I was on in the last job but the difference in myself the last six moths is worth every penny.

brummytom

I work for an exam board at the moment, in an office full of other students. The job itself is incredibly boring, but still tiring. It'd be soul destroying if it wasn't for the other people there.

Love my job and the people I work with, but the pay isn't enough for me to move out of the family home (yet!), so I might have to quit if I find anything (even something I don't enjoy) that pays more.

Henlars67

I didn't really like my job when I had it, hard manual labour on the buildings, but I'd love to have it now.

I'm a mature student now and I'm enjoying it but I have almost no money to spend after bills and rent.

It's a life I'd really enjoy if I had money though.

I admire you for that, well done and fair play to you .

I am more or less in the same boat and the next few months are big for me job wise. I admire your courage, best of luck with it all.

I too worked in construction and didn like my job.. Im a mature student myself biting the bullet an goin to college to try a new career IT to be percise, I dream of one day having a half decent paid monkeys job

QuiteInterestin

Don't hate my job but don't think I love it either. Don't mind going to work but sometimes I wish I was doing something else. Don't know what that something else is and I don't think I could face giving up work to go back to college to start again either so I'll just keep at what I'm at.

Whatsisname

I hate my job, the same boring crap for 8 to 12 hours a day. I mean, its easy and requires no skill at all but its soul destroying. Also the fact that I have no idea when I could be working next isn't pleasant, I don't think I've ever got longer than a day notice and I get paid under minimum wage due to me starting work there when I was 17 and so on.

Been looking for a different job elsewhere for months now, most of the time not even getting a reply after applying for vacancies but I guess a job is a job at the end of the day.

In general my job is ok and most people in the company are sound but there's a couple who do my head in and really wish i didn't have to interact with them. I'm talkin major headwreckers/w'ankers here.

In my experience those type of people are in every group really. I used to work in a shop and one of the lads was a pure wanker, he would mess and irritate people all day:mad:

not working now but when I was I loved it...

jobeenfitz

Boring job. Cut down to three days. Life is too short to for 5 boring days every week.

jinxremoving

I left a job that I hated that was well paid but stress made me incredibly ill to working from home. Its drastically different and there have been moments of panic where I wonder did I do the right thing. But I did :-) no job is worth absolute misery and depression!
