There are some aspects I enjoy about my job, but it's not my ideal job, it's stressful and tiring and well, I think I could do better with my skills, but I'm still a student, so I'm going to get students jobs until I graduate, and they are not the most fun jobs usually. But there are some things about it that I like.

Same here. There are some things I like about my job, but it's certainly not my dream job. Unfortunately, I don't have much job experience, nor do I have any money to go into business for myself, so I'm kind of stuck with it...for now.
Happy mylotting!

Can I have both? hahaha.. If you work for survival, then your main reason is money. I prefer to work for my happiness and money. These two things are very important. Money is nothing if you are not having on what you are doing.

I am a type of person who are happy if I am happy with my work, I am not a workaholic but happiness matters to me most, money is also important because it is like a reward we get from the work we done, exactly I think I need my happiness.

It is useless if you have money but your not happy. For me, happiness comes first then money. If you are happy on what you are doing you tend to be more productive on your work. Have a nice day!

"All this and heaven too" is a statement made when one gets paid for a job that one enjoys. I have had the good fortune to be in this category. When I was tired of working in an office a job that had become stale and uninteresting I opted out of it and started my own business and this statement "All this and heaven too" aptly suited this change I made in my life.

Any way life has to go one so most of them takes any job. It doesn't mean that their jobs make them happy. Now we have a very tight competition for each of the jobs and a very rare of people have the job which they expected.
I don't know what will be in my case. I hope I will get a job which I expected, which makes my face to twinkle like a bright star.

When you are poor, you work for money, never mind if it makes you happy. But when you get rich, work is a part of your life. You will try everything to make yourself happy at work.

I am gonna work for the job where I can become happy because when I am happy working it makes me contented and I am loving my job but I need also job that can give me money for my survival especially that I have a family relying on me..So, I think when my work gives me money to support my needs it made me happy and contented. I need money first in order for me to survive and to be happy. I can't be happy receiving a less salary.[b][/b][i][/i][u][/u]

Happiness can be get from many places, like your family members, your friends, delicious food, beautiful places and many other things. So I do not think there is no need to find a job make me happy, money is the most important for the job.
I will work hard at working hour, then find of happiness of my life after work. So I am still very happy while can have more money.

if want to survive, then we have to work for money; if money is not the first reason you to work, then work on what can bring you happy =) don't become a slave of money

Hi. It has to both, financially rewarding and at the same you should be enjoying what your are doing. I have two jobs, an offline job and an online job. I consider my offline job as a challenging one since this is not my line and the online job a more challenging one because we are not certain if this will gonna work for long or not. But I enjoy both my jobs.
