Even If You Hate Your Job... Is There Things You Enjoy?

Tina, many people have the same views about their current positions. It is not uncommon to feel that way. But, with the economy the way it is a job you don't like provides more than no job at all. And, there are millions out there that wish they could complain about a lousy job. You mentioned one day owning your own business, what is it you want to do?

Sure, there are things I enjoy when it comes to my job. I enjoy working independently and the animals that I take care of (well,most of them anyway ). I especially love that it is near where I live. As I'm in a rural area, it's hard to find a job that's nearby. Now if I could only get a raise, more hours, and benefits. My job would be just about perfect then! Happy mylotting!

I remember at my last full time job (I was laid off in December 2005!), within two weeks, I was terribly bored and already looking for work! I stuck it out for six and a half years (although I was interviewing for new positions six months before I was laid off) because the thought of NOT being employed was scary! I would have loved to find another full time job, but things just didn't work out that way; fortunately, I had already started a new side job before I was laid off, so all was not lost. I worked at that for five years, until the recession took its toll and I had other health issues. But I've still been unable to secure full time employment, so I'm still working part time, still without health insurance, but at least with my new job, I'll have the opportunity to create my own hours and salary (real estate sales). What will your business be?

What I love about my job beside s the pay , I get to meet new people and I love chatting . My goal is to eventually get my own business also . I am doing a career that I can be my own boss at the end of the day .

Hi Tina, Yes I too Hate Job but not now some year back I have worked 33 months in Fertilizer company my duty was Go-down supervisor dealing with Go-down counting Fertilizer bags,tracking them in the net only supervision. But I have to perform my duty their, I am more interested to do office work instead of go-down work,have a nice day.

Stay where you are for now - you have a job AND great benefits - something not everyone has in this crazy economy! But it's always good to keep your eyes open to other possible opportunities - something else might pop up that's even better - you never know! My hubby is stable where he is (for now). He's got a good thing going there - including the benefits too (which means we as a family do too). He even gets catered lunch almost everyday! But he can sure see that it can get kind of boring there - ha ha. It's great being employed and we can't complain about the income among other things - but - the job can kind be long hours that drag. He's not sure that this is where he wants to be in the long run, but for now, it's a good gig - so he's going to stay where he is.

You job may be good or bad, but we should see that doesnt make our life bad. You work for 8-9 hours a day, still there is a life of 15 hours in day. So work is important, but it is not everything in life. make good friends in the place, you would feel better. Go for some trips in the weekend. You would feel much better

There are many things I do enjoy about my job, and some I do not, but the good outweighs the bad. I know I need to stay employed for a few years longer so we can meet some goals and take care of some needs.

I have never hated a job as much as I hated someone I worked with, and when that "with" became a "for" I retired.

And maybe he is preparing you for some of the ups and downs of having your own business! Sometimes when we go through things we don't understand why at first....down the road it all makes sense!

I work as a cashier and I was doing fine until earlier this year when I just couldn't take it, about two months ago I asked for fewer hours. It's taken a big hit on my paycheck, but I still have enough to pay the one, now two bills I have. It doesnt' help me further myself though. I'm still happy with the little time I do work there, and until I can get myself in the position to further myself and be able to go somewhere else, I'll stick it out. That being said I do like my hours now, and it's bearable.

Even though there are a few things that I hate about my current job, there are actually a few things that I'm sure I wouldn't find someplace else. One is proximity. I live a few blocks away from home, so I avoid any traffic. I could also pick up my kids from school if I timed my breaks right. I wouldn't necessarily call these as things I 'enjoy' (as I would surely enjoy a job that paid much-much more), but it works, for now.

Hi Tina. I know there are things you don't like but I know you appreciate the insurance benefits.

hi , i feel very lazy to go to office everyday, but i enjoy my work , and also the pay , for which i am working , if i cant enjoy my work ,then no matter what i cant work even for money.

When I was still in the employment world I repeatedly say I want to quit which eventually materialized. I am now imprisoned in my hous

It's hard to go to work everyday when you can't stand the place you are going. People have a huge influence on that and then if you have a weak management system that makes you feel as though you mean nothing, well, that makes it even worse. I have been with the company I am with for 13 and a half years now. Talk about ups and downs at that place..wow. There were times when I didn't think I would make it through the rest of the day for being so sad there. I was one of those there for the money and benefits. I have a say so now though. Not a huge company changing say so but at least for the people who work under me. It's my purpose for now I think. Later..who knows?

Hello my friend KrauseHome Ji, Well, I think you are lucky to remain with GOD as God lives tehre only, whjat you described surroundings and with poor and down-trodden, in filth, mud and all those unwanted palces, where people are suffering and remembering HIM. May God bless You and have a great time

Well, these days is hard to find a good job. Even if we hate it or want to quit. We need to stick into our jobs. That what happen to me before I don't like the jobs but I need to stay. Even if that what I feel into my jobs. There is still make me enjoy because doing work is much pleasure unto me...

It's funny because personally, it depends on the time of year you ask me whether you'll get a "I love my job!" or "I hate my job!" kind of response. I'm self employed in real estate. I own two residential properties in my city and rent them out to tenants. Most of the time, I adore my career. I have no set hours, nothing. I basically go into debt (to get a mortgage) and then get a rent check every month. The only common issues are the property repairs now and then. THEN, you have times like the one I'm going through now. One of my tenants abandoned the property they were renting without paying the rent, and they left thousands of dollars in damages. I now have to go through savings to pay both my own bills and those of the property I'm attempting to ready for a new tenant. I'm also in the process of searching for their new address so I can sue them in small claims court. So as it stands, I'm not getting rent, I'm still paying the mortgage, taxes, and insurance, and thus I have a negative income until I get someone else in the property, which isn't possible until I spend thousands of dollars to fix the mess that was left behind. Most of the time, I love being in real estate. I also am an author, but the royalties I get from selling novels are unpredictable and depend on the month, the time of year, etc. So I have two careers that are both unpredictable, and you can only do so much to prepare for the unexpected. I had $11,000 saved up for property repairs, for example, and as it stands, I have $4,000 left and am anticipating spending over $6,000 more. Despite being prepared, it wasn't nearly enough.
