Do you really enjoy your job? Or are you working to earn that necessary paycheck, but you do not like the job you have? What would it take for you to leave that job and try one that you would enjoy doing on a daily basis? If you like your current
job, would you be satisfied to work there until retirement?

To tell you the truth, I'm not satisfied with my current job.
The company I work for has several legal and economical issues, my payroll is being held up almost for two weeks already, some money is owed to me from last year and things don't look to bright in the near future.
But I'm still hanging on there, at the same time looking for some other job opportunity, even if I don't get same payment or near what I'm making here, which isn't that much kind a think of it.

Hi artistry,
Those are some very nice words from you, I thank very much.
I'm hanging on tough, but at the same time researching for any online income opportunity which I've been able to find little by little.
Hope to get my financial freedom soon enough ...
You have yourself a very, very nice day !!

...Hi there Rtlsnk316, That is not great to hear. I am sorry to hear about the problems your company is undergoing. It is good that you are looking for another position at the same time you are working, that's smart. I am hopeful for you that you will be successful in your effort to find a new job. Good luck. Try to apply for a position which you would like, maybe off the track from your current job, you may well be hired based on your enthusiasm to want to do the job along with your education and experience. Don't be afraid to take the chance. You may surprise yourself with the outcome. Interesting that the word "risk" is almost a part of your username, ever notice that? Take care and thank you.

Acctually, I don't go for work with enjoyment everyday.I know we shoud cheer up our mind and love what we do,cause you must earn money to make a living. I don't think my job is well worth to strive,sometimes I have to accompany with people I don't like,maybe it is not what I'm good at, everything is routine work, it seems to waste time everyday,although it is not too tired to me.Can you give me any recommand?

I am sorry to hear that you don't like your job, I am going tp pm you if you don't mind so we can talk about the question you asked about. You show that you can endure things, which is good. Any employer would be glad to have you work for them. We will talk whem we get connected. Take care.

...Hi there heehaw78, I would agree that all of us who have a job should be thankful, with the current economic situation as it is all over. Money is a necessary thing to have in order to survive in this world. So if you are reasonably happy with your position, that is a good thing. If there comes an opportunity that you are sure of, then seeking or obtaining a better position would be alright, you have to be a bit sure though, a bird in the hand as they say is worth two in the bush. Take care and thanks.

What a great question!
Well, there will always be days when I wish I could stay in bed and not have to get up and go to work. But that's because I stayed up too late watching TV, and not because I don't enjoy my job.
I guess when it gets to the point that I dread going into work because I know I'm going to have a horrible day, that's when it's time to change jobs.
I learned a few years ago that if you are willing to put in some hard work, there will always be another job out there for you.

...Hi GoGirl49, That is a good point about doing a good job, because we are creating our future, as we work in the present. As one of my blogs is titled "the future is now!" The experience you bring with you, will always help you with a new position. Even things you do on a volunteer basis give you life experience, which really should be added to your resume. It all counts in my opinion. Thanks for the compliment and many thanks for sharing, take care.

Hey! I like my job very much, Because it was my dream few years back, which is happening now. But ofcourse, I am going there to earn money. But I cant work there till retirement an all, most probably I would like to be there for only three or four years.

...Hi there avimra, Welcome to the ranch, great place to hang out. I am so happy to learn that your job, that you have, was the realization of a dream. What a neat thing to have happen. Liking the job is great, but none of us have time to work for free unless we have a trust fund or something. So show me the money. But having fun while you work keeps your attitude up, and definitely lowers the stress level. Take care and thanks so much for sharing.
