Are you happy with your career/job?

[Fitness4Life]

I'm not, personal training at a gym/on the side at peoples' homes doesn't cut it.  Maybe if you're living at home with your parents and have hardly any bills, then it'd be a great job, enough to have a cool car and date multiple whores. 

But making it on your own and all the bills that come with that, moneys' tight.   Just my story.

How's your career/job treating you?  Financially, mental well-being?   If it's good, do you recommend it to fellow getbiggers?

[20inch calves]

no i don't like it. but if a job was fun they would find a way of charging you to do it instead of paying you

[local hero]

normal 'working class' usualy dont look forward to going to work everyday, and if they do its down to friendships with co-workers

only people who dont have real jobs skip to work

so making a living off a job you enjoy is a myth, the older I get the more this seems true

not much if you work strictly for a gym such as 24 and la fitness, about 15 bucks an hour, however you get crap hours and they treat employees like crap too.  you go private, you name you prices and all that good stuff.

People are embeciles when it comes to Uverse...Always asking me to do things that compromise the performance...when I tell them that I can't do something,...they give me grief.

I start a new career on Monday. I can't wait. Ever since I go out of the Marine Corps, I've been searching for a professional purpose, corny as it sounds.

If you have a job you love you got the world by the balls. If you don't it sure is nice to make enough money so that when you are off you have some cash to spend.  One thing for sure the old saying is true. No one ever said they wished they spent more time at work on their death bed.

  My daughter works in the medical field and her first two weeks of work out of college was hard during the night shift. She was so discouraged until she got her pay check.  She ran to me and said look at how much they are paying me. I guess it was a shock from her previous $10 dollar an hour college and high school job.

I was always told if you do something you love for work, you will hate it.

I like what i do, but i don't like the stress and bullshit i get from clients.

I'm happy from a financial standpoint, but some days i want to pursue other things and leave the Engineering world behind.

You said "job" then mention personal training? Like saying you build model airplanes for a living.. it's a hobby not a job.


 

[Agnostic007]

On a serious note, I've been doing this particular job for almost 30 yrs. I can honestly say 20 of it I loved but the higher up you go, the less fun it is and the more like work it becomes. But I enjoy it.

[Emmortal]

I get to make the CG shit in the movies that keeps you meatheads escaped from reality for a few hours.  Why the hell wouldn't I be happy?

[Obvious Gimmick]

i think of jobs as something i need to do to be able to do what i want to do.

it is much more important to be a good friend and person than a good employee

[tu_holmes]

Yes. Very happy.

[El Diablo Blanco]

Fucking hate it.  hate the people I work with, hate the clients, hate it all, but I get paid a LOT OF MONEY.  So like a bitched taking two dildos in the ass for cash I come to work, deal with the bullshit and get paid handsomely.

[BayGBM]

...now, i'm working only part time as a manager at a recreational center in the midwest hating it, the pay sucks and there is no chance for me to move up and i hate everyone i work with! and since it's only part time i'm actually living with my brother which while i love him, it sucks that i'm a grown man and living this way...

[tu_holmes]

It's not.

It's about making good choices at the right time.

I love my job. I get paid and I see what I work on all of the time... Actual satisfaction.

I also get paid pretty all right.

Finding your job happiness can only come from you.

[PJim]

My day job is piss easy and pays the bills, what I do with the rest of my time is what I would say counts towards a "career". To conclude, I'm pretty happy but always hungry.

  Liked it until I lost it a few weeks ago. Drove and did quality control for Netflix. Decent money, and spent most of the day driving the truck and blasting my music.

Roofing? hell no
