Really?

I'm mostly enjoying my job right now although it brings a lot of stress and pressure which sometimes feels overwhelming. It's not a job I've ever aimed for though, but rather a means to an end; in this case it enables me to save money and discover Japan.

I hate my job, but I'm kinda trapped here till I can find something else that will pay me at least as much. I like what Im doing (mainly web development and search engine marketing), but I hate the place I work for and it's staff,

I adore my job. The hours are whatever I want them to be, I can drink beer and get stoned while working (and never have to fear a drug test!), it's an environment where I can be creative AND work with my hands, and I love my employer/co-worker!

The downsides are there are no benefits and I am not making as much money as I'd like, but I'll gladly take that if it means I love my occupation. We spend far too much of our lives working and it would be such a bummer if I wasted all those years slaving away for something I really didn't care about or made no impact.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

I still want to know what we're talkin about here

I love my work and it's what I've wanted to do ever since I found out there was such a thing. Once the kids are all in school I will really get my business off the ground properly. At the moment I am scared to get more work than I can do, but it hasn't happened yet that I couldn't handle it.

Job what job...

getting paid then paying bills and having very little lefted over to spend on the nice expensive things in life .

i get paid okay and i have good benefits, and the work is well within my talents and abilities. the only thing i don't like about it is that i work in the middle of chicago's business district, and everything feels so arbitrary and soulless. there's not a lot for me to relate to as a human being, so i spend eight hours a day droning out. but i've had worse job experiences, and i just consider those eight hours a day of meditation.

...the only two things I dont like about my job...the work and the people, other than that, I'm satisfied...

Org glitch but my answer was:


No. I'll save you all the boring details but the answer lies in me getting out of my 'comfort' zone.
