I just changed my job 6 months ago and I am enjoying it  ;)

My previous job I loved for many years working on the technical side in a container terminal, but I grew to hate it because of the politics, trade unions and arrogant, incompetent fucks who where appointed as my new managerial team  >:(

I like the job that I do, but I'd rather be a somewhat eccentric multi-billionaire and travel around the world and do crazy stuff. Otherwise I would at least want a year of to travel around the world.

Just this week started a new job after 24 years in broadcasting, and six months unemployment.
Installing microwave links, it's like assembling Ikea furniture.  A bit of a culture clash after 24 years in a semi-artistic job.

Hmmm....., both yes and no. I was laid off from a huge broadcasting company that people hate, that is true. 
Over the air terrestrial broadcasting is losing it's audience.  The reason that it is losing it's audience is a combination of stupid programming decisions, but also changing patterns of program delivery.  The delivery of programming with alternate routes; cable, internet, recorded media.  What will take broadcaster's breath away will be when you can stream programming into cars.

I hate my job, but I make decent money for not having a college degree.  Maybe one of these days I'll go back to college and finish.  Problem is, I really can't think of something that I'd truely love to do day in and day out!  I went the trade school route and IMO it's a waste of time around here.  People don't wanna pay squat, and your always threatened with lay offs.

That can be arranged.
Not too sure about the billionaire part, ...but the multi-millionaire part is certainly achievable.

I enjoy my job even though I don't make a lot of money.

My cousin Jody is living a dream...he's an artist...he "draws" unemployment.   ;)

Only as long as the money comes in, right?

What's your trade and can you start your own business?  You'll never make squat in the trades unless you're higher up the food chain or are a seriously ass kicking piece worker.
