If I am in bad need for a job, I will definitely look for any legal job that could generate income. I remember that after I graduated, it took me a while before I got a good job and I wanted to earn money to help my parents and myself as well. I do not really want to ask money from my parents as they have already spent money for my education. So I took every possible job available. I am introvert but I managed to work as a cashier, I worked in inventory and sales, which normally, I wouldn't do as that will really drain my energy. But it is a good thing I was able to make it and not to mention that my supervisor told me how reliable I am.
But if I am not really in that much need for money, I will certainly look for job that is within my interest and will make me happy because it is important that you love doing your job.

@paper_doll and letranknight25,
Great response for the both of you. If only one can choose a field of work they like, isn't it a better day of tomorrow?

that really reminds me, maybe i never should have quit it and decided to look some where else. i feel for myself but i guess i should do something about it one day. It's not easy to look for a job within your interest. look at the nurses now,some of them are volunteering, some took call center, some even Police Force. they should get their job of their choice one day

I guess that you can't really have it all Seriously, I think that it is important that you keep a network of friends or people you know as this will really help you get the most information whenever their offices have vacancies. They say that nowadays, it is not really what you know, but who you know. Sounds funny but it is indeed true. Like you said, most of us are either unemployed or underemployed. I know a nurse who works as a volunteer and the other, works as a call center agent. The way I see it, most of the nurses I know did not really want to be a nurse, they only took the course because it was in demand way back then.

Your problem has a very serious consequences to your being so financially incapacitated,so you needed an immediate work to solve your problems of survival.
You are immovable without financial support,so you can not do anything within your reach,as you needed support which is very difficult to achieve without work or anyone who could help you,so you can not make it a reality to follow what your heart was planning to do,but follow your dream to have enough earnings that you must find a work to sustain your being to exist the most practical way.

I think you have some siblings there with you in the house to help with your expenses
so that you can still use an internet.I just thought that you really needed some big break to work a good job because our earnings here in myLot does not guaranty a well paying job,because this is just for fun to spend the extra time in the house.

oh no...he won't help me. He himself has so many bills to pay somemore, I think it will be another burden for him to take care of my bills, but my father can support me, which I think I will not use his money anymore soon.

I know that my depression decrease my motivation to work, that is why I always stay at home, but still I know I can't follow my heart, I have to do some work to get money for food, meds and bills, so like you said, follow my dream to have enough earning to sustain my being to exist the most practical way.

It's not bad to work with someone else to earn money unless that work is not bad enough or nothing mixed into it.
What the used of following our heart for nothing to gain. But if your refer about loving someone but no money at all and there is someone that have more money. Better to follow your heart in that aspect because money didn't conquer money. What the used of money if you have no love at the person you follow. The end in that relationship is bitterness...
Even if you don't have money and follow your love. Both of you will be happy in the end and make money together. Money is easy to find someone but real love is not easy to find every where...

Quite a bit also. You might not want to work for people who are selfish and bad, right?

Hello Wongchoiyee, You need money to survive and buy the things that you want. if you want to earn it then work is the only possibility. you can always follow your heart but only the kind of work that you desire and willingly it be the rest of your life. with what's happening to the world today, specially with the financial crisis, some people had to work in order to save money and soon get to do what they want to do

@letranknight25,
That is some sad situation, like maids in foreign country, doing odd jobs just to send enough money to their family.
@paper_doll,
I am lucky that I have qualification enough to work in an office as what I want but still so sad sometimes thinking of this.

I agree. One should also keep in mind that he has a goal and therefore, has to prepare himself for it. The problem with being in a job that you don't like, you tend to focus your attention to the stresses that this job is bringing you. You tend to forget your goal and that is to land on a job that you like. If one has the chance, took some time to look for some trainings/seminars to attend that can help him improve his skills and gain more knowledge so that when the opportunity knocks, you won't be caught unprepared.

I think that it is a different case. Some do like their jobs but are not satisfied with their wages so they tend to find a job which is not within their field of expertise but would definitely give them more money.

Hi jlyn, long time did not see any discussion started by you, really miss the days, how are your business right now? Anyway, return to our discussion, starting a business is good, but there are many responsibilities to take, personally I will just start doing simple online work like mylotting first, then see how it goes.

Correct, but at this time, I have no intention starting a business or whatsoever in the future, there is so much to consider, what if there is no customer,...and so on. I rather work as an independent contractor on the internet.

Hi choi yee
Yes, I have been busy and wasn't able to come to myLot.
I haven't have much time to concentrate fully on my business yet as I am presently doing transcription work online. I agree that there are responsibilities involved in doing business but if we want money, we would have to take care of our clients.

I don't suppose one can solve the incurred debt by repayment without being gainfully employed. So, I would definitely seek a job because doing business will not be practical and beyond my reach.
The latter possess a certain degree of failure, one which is common for the newly set ups and with a debt to be paid, a failure will just increase the burden for everybody around us.

Hi artemeis, actually I do not have debts, but I have bills to pay for each month like internet bills and medicine bills, they are quite low actually, but if I can earn more then its much better to cover up the costs.

Work for anyone... - do you mean really anyone?
Well, I still have my pride to not do certain jobs for no matter how hard my financial situation is
Overall, if I am on heavy financial problem, as long as it's still a good and legit job, no matter either I like it or dislike it, I'll do it.

If you need money you have to work. It's great if you can do something you like but if this is not the case you have to accept what is offered. I don't think with the bad economics there is a lot of choice. Also it's your responsibility to take care of your own problems. This includes financial. I think you should be ashamed if you let others deal with that while you keep on spending and are just willing to follow your heart.

I believe I am selfish and inconsiderate sometimes, but I hope I can change as I grow older, I learn to stand up on my own two feet.

well, it depends on the work i do , if i really like the work the not a problem , but if i don't like, and severe financial problem, the i should think twice, if i am capable enough to get a new job as soon as possible, then i may leave for other, but if i can , then have to work until i get some money.

Prashu, if I ever get severe financial problem, then the best option is to work for job even I don't like but now its just a temporary problem, the work in market research company has not been there yet, so I hang in here without money...

Money is everything and if you have no money, I'll like to get a job, not entirely follow my heart and do something else but a job, even half-decent will do.

Half-decent? You mean like bar hostess girls? I am not opposing that either, I think you do it then you have money, right?
