Are You Working Hard, or Hardly Working?

my job is very stressful. REALLY! honestly, it is not that hard as yours. however, the issues and the pressure is killing me. i love what i am doing but i really want to explore some things related to my course which is IT. i work hard for my family, especially for my son. right now we are in the middle of crisis so i cannot stay at home even if i am sick and tired of what i am doing here.

Each person works hard but the one who is smart is called and hardly working but he has done all the hard work in earlier part of his life.!

I'm a cashier. I stand in one place all day and scan products. It tends to be pretty mindless, because it's just the same thing over and over again. I get paid better than most cashiers in the area I live in, but I'd really like a job that requires a little more creativity.

i am home from my job now having completed my shift but when i am at work, it is mostly mental but sometimes physical because i have to file and whatnot. i work for a non profit organization which can afford few people to do a lot of work.

I work in a research lab. My job isnt very physically taxing, but there is some knowledge you have to have. Right now, I am working on a set of experiments that are super easy! I think an 8 year old could do what I am doing! They wouldnt understand why or how it worked, but they could actually do the work. I also have a lot of downtime. I am always waiting for something to incubate or equilibrate. It can get very boring at times. I am not sure what I would do without the internet! At those times I do wonder how anyone can get paid for my job. But I am not complaining! I do like the paycheck!

I can say that I am hardly working for college now that I have considered going back to school. Since its about work, I do confirm with the tasks and obligations while having another thing in mind at school. This maybe the best way for me to challenge myself in events having both school and work since I read some people's story and also as been told by these people in this type of situation. I can say its physical and mental needs at work since you have to be on the line for the work while looking for something on screen doing work.

I thought my job would be more interesting when i first started. But after a few years, i got bored. I don't really mind if the job involves some stress and mental challenged. But now i feel that my job is going nowhere. I work with the government in medical science field. As i said, it should have been interesting. But working with the government has so many limitations, i just got fed up. So now I'm doing something else on my own, waiting to be out of the system.

Well it seems the less work involved the more you seem to make. It's kind of a horrible thought but that's capitalism for ya'! Online website publisher? You mean you build websites orr uhh, what? I'm in search of a job right now, actually. I prefer the less physical labor, more mental-related. Most jobs available are kind of distancy though and not in exactly the safest of neighborhoods so it makes it a lot harder then it should be.

I'm a teacher so I work mentally and physically. Mentally because I'm teaching pupils with knowledge so I have to review the lesson, do a research work and study often to be prepared in my class. I have to prepare myself physically too because in teaching you have to be an energetic and active to motivate your students and teach them well with high energy to make the class lively too.

I'm working really hard, after a days work, it still have to do some sideline jobs for me to gain extra money, one of these sideline job is online money earning. I think all job are hard, its just how the way people tend to manage their time. Time Management is very important.. So to avoid delays and back logs at work we need to learn to manage our time well..

I work as a 3D artist so there's really not much physical work. xD It can be a problem though because you spend all day (everyday) on your computer seat so it can be hard to be in good shape. xD Yees! When I was working at a studio, I was only doing simple tasks but the salary I received from them was like O_O wow xD I felt guilty for receiving that amount of money for doing such simple things xD Right now I'm back at freelancing so it's harder work mentally, but I like it this way 'coz I know it's helping me improve my skills, even if the money I receive isn't much. :D

Sounds like you have a challenging job...Most of my life I've had sit down office jobs, mainly not stressful, clerical in nature. My latest partime job was working in a thrift store..I worked in the back pricing items, on my feet all day, and filling up the cart to stock the items. Physical, but not stressful..I loved it,loved the people, and loved talking to the customers. It also got me some exercise!!!

Hi, Right now I am a home maker and I believe that is the toughest job in the whole world. Though I work part time over the net but managing a home with a four year kind takes away most of my time. This is tough both mentally as well as physically. At times it becomes very stressful. My son is totally mama's boy. So he does not allow anyone to do anything for him. His mama has to do everything for him. So I believe that it will be a little easier for me when he grows up a little more.
