Are you happy with your job?

Life may not be so considerate that some people landed to jobs they do not really like, but because they needed one they have to take the first opportunity that will come along. I did not dream for my current job. I had something else in mind but my dream job was too elusive that I never even had the chance to pursue it. Anyway, I got used to my present job and actually doing great with it. I didn't get what I've dreamt of but I learned to finally liked my job. Are you in the same situation?

at this moment not at all. there is nothing that i want is there in this job. the new increament is just ridiculous. its hard to stay here. i think its an insult. also i do not get onsite opportunities here. i must change it.

When I first moved to the states I was expecting to end up in the same line of work as when I was in the UK - administration. But coming to the depths of Ohio, realising everything here is so different I lost my self confidence and after a six months job searching was amazed to be offered a job as a cashier at Walmart. Much to my surprise there are many things I love about the job - I can set my own hours within limits, I love working with customers, I love the people I work with, I can only work 4 days a week. Yes there are things I don't like but I find it after 30 years of stress and responsibility still a pleasure to go to work and leave it when I walk out of the store. SO yes for now I am happy with my job.

I work from home. I am happy about that part. Money isn't as good. But we do save on daycare bills. I don't know many people that have their dream job. I am just happy. That is what counts.

I'm used to my job and I like most of the people I work with but in general I HATE my job!! I'm a receptionist at a property management company and for some reason our renters think I'm the one that needs to be yelled at for things not getting done!! on top of that my boss is the cheapest person I know!! Sadly I'm oddly comfortable here even though I hate it... wierd I know.. I think it's becouse I like my coworkers that I'm still here, oh and the fact that there's not much else available.. ;)
