October 3, 2010 11:49pm CST
I have graduated for 4 years. I used to work for 3 companies. I feel bored now. Everyday, I get up and thinking about to go to office make me to be sick. I wish I can work following another ways which I can work at home and there are much time for my life and my family. I know that I don't have enough money to become a boss. I can find the jobs which I can do at home to solve this problem. How do you think?

Yes, you're right. I sometimes do jobs which I don't like but I can earn enough money to help my friends or my family. Happiness of them is my will.

I know how you feel, it must be really hard and tiring to work with 3 companies and struggling to steal time to spend with family at the same time. I don't really know what to suggest since you have family and kids, I also love working from home, and I'm sure you do too. Whatever you choose to do, I wish you good luck and hopefully you can find something to do that is more enjoyable :) Have a nice day

i have experienced working at home. but it would still be similar to working at the office. some advantages of course when you are at home. but at some point, you will need to isolate yourself from your kids or family while focusing to your work. basically, you can have freedom when to work. but you will still have deadlines to meet and have to hurry at times.

Hmmm.. I want to feel for you, but I guess I can say "You can't do anything about it" You would always need to find ways to pay for your basic needs and if you stop working or earning, you'll be in a very terrible state. I suggest you just suck it in for a while and save up for a business.

Yes, you're right. We must work everyday to earn for our life. However, It's great if we can work with a better schedule working and more free time now. Are you agree?

I advise you to save some money then up to you to open any business you like. You can also search work at home jobs online. There are many to choose from. Earning on the internet is sometimes quite slow and sometimes you don't even get the payment but patient for sure you find a legit one. Have a nice day!

Yes, I will. However, it's quite difficult. Right? Everyone think about this, but no more people can do that. Humh, we should be optimistic on future! Wish you and me success!

You have only been working for a few years... remember you still have a long way to go. You should be bored at work, be tired when you are much older. your age right now is the start usually at the peak wher eyou should be striving, knowing in your heart what you want to do, what career you want to build, where you want to go, and what you will be years from now. Maybe you are feeling that way because you do not like your work. Have you assessed yourself as to what you want to do, and become? If you know you should focus on that and work to achieve that. Do not wait when you already have no TIME to build and start over. Time is ticking fast - do not waste your time.

You are probably get bored because you are no longer happy with your job. Besides, having 3 companies at one time gets much of your time and you get exhausted mentally, physically. It eats much of your time which is supposed to be your leisure time. It is no longer a healthy one for you. Yes, you have the choice to work at home if you want to. As long as you can make or earn some which is equal to or more than what you earn from your real job then it would be just fine so that you can have time for your family.

You have a great jobs, my friend and did a successful career after graduating to college... What I don't understand is that you are not enjoy doing your office jobs, where you said you work in 3 companies. That maybe great enough for you because you may now see the ladder of success... Working online or at home is hard. But if you are prefer to do it...think 3 times first before resigning your jobs... There are company that offer regular jobs online and if you pass the exams and able to bid a jobs that good because they are pay better than the regular jobs... Have a nice day

All it takes is the guts to start. You dont need millions to start you own business. If you cant find satisfaction in what you are doing now then it must be time for you to choose a different path. Your success would depend on your financial inteligence or your know-how on how to handle money. I suggest you read books of Robert Kiyosaki. His insights are very helpful.

Do you want to really quit your job or would you like to take a few months vacation with your family? If you would like to quit my question is: have you gained enough experiences and tired of being an employee? Why not start a small home-based business, or better yet build your own enterprise (if you have the capacity and the means)? If going into vacation can be your solution then ask your boss for a paid vacation leave. Four years is like studying again, you might gain experiences that the university haven't taught.

in addition try doing things that you like. Let us say cross stitch, knitting, painting, helping charities and doing community services. Another good idea is taking continuing education other courses that you haven't taken and still you would like to take-up. Enroll in crafts sessions and enjoy its simple yet relaxing effect.

If your bored. Try something different. The best solution for boredom is to get out of you normal self and try something new. Do something crazy once in a while. You should enjoy life. Life is not just about working have fun relax take time to unwind.

Life seem to boring afterall, work too. When a certain person repeatedly and continually doing regulary the things and works, it is in our human nature that we bored. Sometimes we must learn to be creative. Think of a style and add spices. You must set your mind always that going to work is something a challenge and not just an ordinary job. You mix it up with another ideas and change the way you think. It is just the power of our mind why we are feeling this. Remember, We become on what we think.

We're almost in the same position now. I am bored to. I worked in general accounting for nine years and I got bored. Now I work as a sales consultant and again I am bored with it. Especially now that we're a few in the office. Most of them resigned already. There are really stages in life that we got bored. Maybe what we have now this is not really for us. It's not what we want to happen in our lives. As for me, I am tired of being an employee too. I want to work at home or manage my own business.

i also resigned when i found my friends leaving the company where i used to work. but it just gave me another difficulties getting a new job. basically i am not equipped to be a boss or to start a business. i don't have the knowledge even. so i guess it's a matter of using the company for now, till i am financially prepared to be with my own business.

I never had the chance for higher studies. Worked my way up as a clerk to become a Branch Manager of large corporations. However, it even poses more problems for me as many are envious and questions my abilities. Left my job to open a business. Went well for 2 years then bust. Lost everything. Gained stress and was at the brink of insanity. Felt like giving up, but then, that thought is also scary. Tried online business though very skeptical about them. Made thousands. In life, as long as we remind ourselves to keep going and thank God for the ability to use our limbs and brains, we can create a better life for ourselves. Good luck.

Sometimes situations are creates when we feel bored from our jobs. The reason is that the company never raises our salary and always gives us salary by their old rules. I think if companies raised their employee salary then this situation can't happen because all employees take interest in their works. I also bored sometimes. Because I have changed few jobs. Because I was not satisfied with salary.

I was once an employee too and same as you, I got bored and had a hard time making ends meet. I realize it is better to have a sideline business. I am not employed anymore because I already have small businesses of my own. I also make money online as sideline.
