Do you like your job??

[jsosk88]

Question for people out of college and working. Do you sincerely like your job or are you doing it for the money? And was deciding on a major in college more for future monetary gain or for the love of it?

when I graduate audio school, I knew that it was really hard for me to get a job, so right now I work at a retail store and my other job is being an audio engineer for 2 recording studios and I love that more than anything

[rocio]

i went into my field because i was passionate about it. I wish it were more challenging but i like it ok.

[Shiranai]

I sincerely like my job, but I chose my major for money, not for love. I would've tried to become a professional musician if I went for love.

[comfyshoes]

i do like my job. i just hate all the politics and other bollocks that go along with it

[pacodemil]

No. Not really

[anggrace]

I do love my job. (most parts of it anyway) I didn't do it for money, but after doing it for almost 10 years, the money isn't so bad. But thats not whats most important to me. If it was, Id be working elsewhere for someone else. I just want to wake up in the morning with a smile on my face. Not dread of having to know Im going to be spending my day doing something that bores the hell out of me.

^^^Oh man, this is the first time I've seen the "1" being in front of the "3" in my age. Just felt a little ouch.

Before I went back to school last year, I "liked" what I did but it was not me. Paid okay, but it was certainly not for the money!

 

I went back to school for law, because it is something I have wanted to do a long time. Certainly NOT for money since my career plans are to go into Legal Aid (aka.....no money ). I do some pro-bono with them now and I just have a great passion for it in the sector of legal aid I am desiring to go into. Something I had wanted to do in undergrad too, but the time off working before going onto grad school was SO important for me to really get my focus and direction to know what I really wanted to do with it.

[shikashika]

I don't hate my job.

 

But I don't think I will ever do a job I love or am passionate about. I'm not passionate about work and never will be.

 

Even when people say 'what would be your dream job'.. i can't think of it, because there is nothing that i want to do THAT much. The things that make me happiest, i can't be paid for!

[CaptainPlanet]

I hate my job completely.

If ur really smart and/or you have passion for science major in engineering.

 

If ur not major in accounting.

 

Or do something leading to one of the medical professions.

get a new job

[Psylocke]

My job is ok, nothing special. I'd like something a little more challenging. The pay could be better but the benefits are decent.

[jsosk88]

I'm sort of worried that once I graduate and get a job, I'll end up hating it. The reason that I chose my current major was primarily for future financial benefits and a little for because I liked it. I'm starting to think that my future job is going to be a dead one.

[jengh]

I have the same fear as jsosk...I keep switching majors...I've switched about 4 times (Pre-med, spanish, international business, international studies)... I want to go into art history but my college doesn't offer it as a major (i'm on my 3rd college, too! talk about indecisive)

[girl_83]

NO! I hate my job.. everytime im there im wishing i was working in an office.. and when i got an office job i hated it so much, i wished i was somewhere else so i quite. How sad... 24 and still have no career *blushes*

[alcide]

I hate my job soooooooo much too much and the money is sooooooooo low too so there s nothing to like. Reason i'm here is just to get something to do instead of sataying home doin nothing.

[rootcause43]

Despite a nice income, I absolutely despise my job

 

My job is not directly related to my major, btw. But when I chose my major, I did it because I enjoyed it (it was a business major).

[WaterIsLife]

I do love my job. Also, I put myself through hell to get to where I am at right now. I now have the opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives. All I need to do now is decide on how I want to do that.

[Caldus]

...I "liked" what I did but it was not me.

 

I'm feeling the same way with my job right now. It "works" for the moment ... at least until I find what I really want to do later on. I am paid real well and have good benefits so it motivates me to stay there for now.
