Honestly, I really don't enjoy my job. I hate it so much that I'm getting tired of it. I am currently working as a technical support customer service representative. All I do is answer the phone and help non-techy customers with their internet service problems - and they blame you if it won't work. How's that? Sometimes I just cant get it, but after my studies, I will really practice my profession. I just don't have a choice for now because I need to money for my studies. How about you? do you enjoy your job? What makes you stay with that work?

I enjoy my present work. Infact there is no alternative also. if you dont like your present job, your performance will start decreasing day by day. But despite everything, it is not my dream job. that is yet to arrive in my life.

To be very honest, I don't like my job right now and wanted to apply for another, but because it is very hard to resign without a replacement right away, I just endure this terrible agony underneath for sticking with this job. But I am exerting effort to establish myself in writing to quit this terrible situation.

We're on the same situation. We just have to hope and pray that we'll get the job that we want. We have no choice especially that our country is facing a terrible economic crisis. Not just our country, but the whole world. As long as we still earn, we have to stay with our job.:)

hi breinchem please I dont know where you live but if you are here in the US. do not leave your job, there are fewer jobs than there are jobless. just think of it this way,you are using your skills to help ignorant uncomputer savvy people like me to use our computers and we really do appreciate that kind of help, think of yourself as doing good for other people, then let the few who give you a bad time just roll off your back, that is their problem,. let them deal with it. you just do your best and one day you will have the job you have dreamed of. I am retired now and mylot all day. good luck you will one day have that good dream job.

I am enjoying my job as a sports consultant and a full-time sports instructor. I love to be with people and be part of their sports life. If anyone doesn't like their job, then I believe that you need to move out from that job. You are just not doing justice to yourself and your employer. Find something you can enjoy and do what you can to get that and enjoy yourselves.

That's good for you. Life is not just doing your job for money. It's about enjoying what we are doing. I will do that after I graduate. I will make sure that I will be able to practice my profession and enjoy it too.

if you don't have much options then it doesn't matter you enjoy your work or not? but you have to work, if not for better living but then for living. and if you have multiple job options then you can think about this. i think 98% peoples are not enjoying their work, they just working for their family etc. so this is an easy reason to stay with the work they are doing. oh yes i am also one of them.

I really like my job. I work in an independent retirement home for seniors, or even younger people who can not live on their own. I am a cook and a weekend overnight aide. I have my own bedroom and tv with cable. I can pretty much do what I want when i'm working.

At first its enjoyable but I'm tired of my job in here already. It's tiring already because all the work was being passed to us. Its quite unfair that they always say they understand us but keep on passing the job to us. I'd like to transfer to another job if their are any internal hiring here. Whew!, I just don't like it now.

Hi Breinchem, Yes, i enjoy and love my job. I am maintaining 2 consultancy jobs. One is regular and the other one is part-time. The nature of my job is training. I travel a lot and meet people from different age group and status. What makes me stay in my work is my passion in training and the topics that i handle, the people i work with and the opportunity to travel. The job is person-oriented and i am learning so much from them too.

to be candid i don't enjoy the kind of work i am doing right now. the colleagues are not helping matters, the environment is harsh, the job is tasking, above all the take home pay cannot take me home. right now i have applied for other form of jobs that atleast can make me happy not only for the money but for the fun of it. kindly pray for me.
