Hate my job but cannot afford to quit

Tell your husband to get the job that he could possible get and just try to look for a job in his own field if he can afford to look for a better job someday. There are lots of opportunities out there but for now, you need his help. I think you are just stressed out that's why you cannot enjoy your job. You just feel that you are doing this job to make money and to make both ends meet.

I was in the same situation years back... and i am so glad that another opportunity arrived... and i immediately grabbed it... i was patient enough to wait... and it paid off... So i think you should also be patient... since you cannot afford to lose your job at the moment... remember... a bad job is better than nothing... and when things or your finances go well... then you can leave in an instant... But for now... try not to dwell in the negative side but always think of the positive side of your job... it would make going to work a lot easier...

It's too difficult to have a job you like. I am not happy to work here, too. However, I can't quit it anyway as I need money to ensure better life. I think it's OK for us to work hard when we are young, and therefore we will have a better retirement.

I'm definitely in the same boat right now. I am currently in the process of finding another jon and I won't quit this one if I can help it until I've found something else. It's been hard to find something else, and especially hard to find something that pays a decent wage. I also have benefits at my current job and those are going to be hard to give up.

The thing is ever body needs some money ..sorry more money to put up their living.so we all have to work some way or the other but though we may not like our jobs.try to work around for better oppurtunities and find some thing else and keep your current job temporary.........also experience counts a lot.

hi ibsnita! i exactly know how you feel! =) well i love the nature of my work however the thing that makes me wanna quit from it is my boss. her attitude is sooo out of this world. Shes the contradictions of her own words. She never practice what she preached. Makes me want to throw up whenever she speaks of work ethics when she herself does not have one. Eeeeww. However i cannot quit - yet. I dont want to ask for money to my mom - again. I guess ill just be patient for a while or until i got a new work. gosh, life!@

How to make people desire our services? One way is to be honest, hardworking and working with skill. So try to acquire as much skill as possible to be a perfect person for the job. Then send your resume to a company that pays better and provides better working condition.

The undesired job is allways a punishment:-( But sometimes we just have no other possibilities and need to be patient, very patient. Then more if we work something really unpleasant, with nasty boss and colleagues.

I have and it's incredibly frustrating and depressing. Do you have friends or family who could keep an eye out for you for available jobs? I've had good luck with personal referrals in the past. Also if there are classes you can take to make you more employable, sometimes that can be a worthwhile investment of time. (Even though it's hard to do while you are working at the same time.)

While I understand that you need to work to live... It is also important that you live to work. You said that you don't even want to get up in the morning to go to work.. Do not burden yourself with a job that you dislike. Besides, you wouldn't be as productive as you are expected by your employer. Perhaps, it would be better if you look for a job which is not that far from home to save on gas. Your savings on gas can go a long way, believe me. Surf the net and look for a job in your area. Good luck to you and your husband.

Do you hate what you do or just where you do it? You need to use the time that you are employed to start your search for another job. You continue to earn a paycheck and at the same time you have the self-knowledge that you will soon be moving on to a job you enjoy. If it is the what you do that you hate, sit down alone and make a list of all of the things that you like to and can do - and then share this list with your husband. Together come up with what jobs relate to what you have on your list and then start looking for that. When you hate a job this much you need to make an eventual change. You will feel better just knowing that you are doing something about it.

I am just a student,but in my view,you should do work hard!! Life is so hard that wo must face!~

I would always like to do the job i enjoy the most. I always say people should do what they like and not what others want them to do. If there is a particular reason for doing a job then we should do the job enjoyingly and with full spirits . This can develop interest in that job and in turn feel us more better!!

I have been in this position quite recently. I hated going to work so much it made me physically ill. My husband and I ended up moving back in with my parents in order to save up. If that is not an option for you, you can try updating your resume, keeping tabs on local jobs that might interest you. Apply to a few. See if you can cut back to part time at your job and take another part time job someplace else that you might enjoy more. Be sure to find time with hubby to do things that you both enjoy outside of work. Being stuck in a job you hate is something that consumes your attitude at home as well. So, having a fun hobby to look forward to doing after work helps the day go by. Also, look into going back to school or taking training classes for a new career online in your spare time. The more qualifications you have, the less limited you are on movement to a career that doesn't rot your soul. Good luck and keep your chin up!

So many people is in the same situation as you do. I think that is also up to you how you think you can get out of this situation. If you like you can try to look for another job i believe that you will be able to find job that will suit you and will give you high paying checks. Its just a matter of taking a risk.
