I want to change jobs! Is it worth it?

dont ever think or do a job that you dont like.go for the one which makes you happy and others around you happy.its that simple

I had a job like that, a very boring job and found myself playing solitaire on-line all day. What made it worse was the fact that I had to drive out of town for this job, and felt the ride was not worth it. Unfortunately, in this economy, I felt that I had to stay there, because there wasn't enough jobs out there to get....but I was miserable most of the time. The worse thing in life is to have to get up to go to a job you hate. I finally got laid off because it was so slow, and they wanted me to go work for them in another state near by which would have been a much longer ride. I refused because there was no way I wanted to ride that far only to spend my day, playing solitaire again. If you can afford to take the risk, and be happy at what you would be doing, I'd say go for it. It will be wwell worth when you are finished.

MissKatPegasus, I just do not think that it would be advisable to leave without having secured another job, especially during these challenging times. You may want to look for some solutions within the company or yourself to get along with your fussy colleagues. Remember their behavioral pattern may be due to the current economic situation too. As for your course, could you do it part time preferably on your off day or after office hours? I am sure there will be part time schedules. Besides, liking the job of a wedding planner, you may want to check to see if you are fit for the job first. Anyway, I wish you all the best with your endeavors and hope that things will work out for you in due time. Take care.

wow, its so dilema. i think you must learn much about the change and the risk. but if you are sure, go straight and never give up

I would suggest starting the wedding planner business on the side and keeping your full time job. Then as the wedding planner business increases you can cut back on your time until you are working full time as a wedding planner. This way you do not lose your income while building your new business. Also you might want to check around and make sure that the training is legitimate and beneficial.

In my opinion, it is not a wiser decision to change the current job at present. As you have said above, you have been working a boring slow paced job with a lot of fussy women. In fact, there are many people who ahev tired of their current jobs, but form various reasons, they have to continue their career other than changing it. For the downturn of the economics around the world, it is difficult to find a steady job, so if you have dicided to become a wedding planner, you will have to take the big risk of losing jobs at last. So, you'd better think it twice before making the final decision. Wish you success!

Does the training make you more likely to get the job you want? it seems to me that you should look at what the course will give you: contacts? how to information? a job? If you don't like your job, you should look around and what's out there. It's just that sometimes following your dream can mean a lot less money.

Well that is a bit of a Dilemma, but could you not hold onto your Job and do the Wedding Planner training in your spare time, at least that way you still have money coming in as well as heading for the Job that you really want I do hope you will be able to go for your Dream

hi misskatpegasus I was wondering it there are some wedding planners out there that would be willing to hire a novice and let you get on the job training sort of like an internship? why don't you do some asking? you sou nd like the 34o is a bit steep for you. if you could be taken on like an intern you could actually be leaning while earnings.see if you could do this..also relook at your job is there any way you could make it more appealing to you as you sound as if the salary is really good. dont quit until you have cinched another job for sure as this economy is not too good, at least where I am here in the US.

Hi MissKatPegasus Hope you have a nice day! At beginning i have same dilemma and now isn't change.i'm workinf hard and earn little money then use this money to take part in many kinds training.we all have dream and believe taht will come true one day.I thought you should not resign maybe you need this work and the salary.why not join the training in you leisure time? Good luck for you!

well, if you hate having a boss, then according to your personality, if you have not got a better job, just do not resign and experience yourself. at last you can open a small shop or sth. in that case you are the boss. acctually, in real life, nothing can be satisfied with you because this is life. find some interests in your work because interest is the best teacher. if you are too boring to stay there, just go and find your right job.

Dont quit on your job if you dont have a much better job prospect or even better a replacement. Times are hard. And though compensation is equally important to peace of mind and happiness in any place of work, you should consider atability of finances. But before you get burned-out, look for another job. Its better to work when you both enjoy it and love the people you are with. best of luck

I'm also working a boring, slow-paced job - amidst periods of intense activity - with a lot of fussy (men and) women who irritate me. I'm also looking at moving out, getting trained in something else... But I think, with the economy the way it is (in the UK as well as the US!), it's just about the worst time to be considering a new career move - or starting up a business for that matter. Risk is relative. (But good luck!)
