    I am a Boards.ie User logging in as a different Name. I Need your help, I Need your Advise.

    For the past few years i have been working in the same Job. Due to Internal Politics i am going no where in the Job. I am bored in the Job, and am Bored out of my Job. I need a change, i need something else.

    So what are my options:-

    1) Keep in the same Job (its easy) but be bored...

    2) Get a new job

    3) Move somewhere else.

    4) Go to the third world.

    Number 4 may seem like a joke - but it`s not. I am seriously thinking of going over there and doing charity work. Do any of you know how to go about this. There is nothing keeping me here afterall..

    I Thank You.
    Rather Drunk Poster......

    i moved.

    it depends on what sort of person you are and what type of risks you want to take.
    you could be safe and careful and stay in your present job, or you could get a new one, or you could move country or you caould move continent.

    what do you want to do?

    Says it all really.

    I have been in the same position for the last twelve months and today is my last day in the job. I dont have a job lined up but fúck it. The job was detrimental to my mental well being so it's time to move on.

    It doesnt matter what your options are. Look for something immediately that will keep the cash flowing and that presents a fresh challenge to you. Dont know about you, but if my brain isnt being constantly worked from all angles I go outta my head with boredom very quickly.

    Get out of there. There. Plain as the nose on yer face. :D

    not exactly the ideal position Kell.
    the saying that its easier to get a job when you have a job is always true (although i guess contracing would be different)

    iw ould seriously suggest the original poster gets a job before jacking in his current one. at lesat while waiting for a new job, do things in work that will help them along the way. study and stuff. try and get some certs, or trade awards or whatever.

    It is very tough out there at the moment to get a decent job - not like the past few years that have gone before us...

    However, one things for sure.... Life is way too short to be wasting in a job that your are not happy in. Working takes up the majority of your life. If you were to die tomorrow what would you remember? That ****ty job you worked in?

    Imagine dying tomorrow knowing that you had a great laugh everyday and got paid for it.......

    Or in case number 4. You went and helped people becuase thats what YOU wanted to do...

    Whatever you choose, go by your gut instinct. It's usually right...
