Well do you? I am curious how many people like their job, or don't like their job. I was just thinking if people choose their professions because they like them or just because they are stuck there?!

Your rating should reflect your whole view of the job, not just the people or the pay or whatever, just the whole experience.

i like both of my jobs (marine mechanic/bike shop employee) i meet alot of interesting characters in both.

 

[Lexx D]

NO! Sales sucks. Long hours, bullshyt customers and bosses that expect you to work 60 hours a week.

 

[luken8r]

NO! I need a new gig. anyone hiring a friendly, neighborhood EE\CE?

 

[I Are Baboon]

I like my job. I mean, it's nothing exciting and sure there are other things I'd rather be doing, but I enjoy going into work every day and it pays good.

 

[Squeak]

I think I dont like all jobs.

 

[McGRP01]

I like my job, but sometimes it can be boring.

 

[TreeSaw]

I like my job about 95% of the time. There are days when it's hell and other's when it's SO easy to deal with. Plus I get good vacation time :devil:

 

[Motionboy2]

I put that I like my Job less often than I would like. I enjoy the people I work directly with, and I like bikes.. But I can't deal with the management. This years new plans to further the company are making me earn about 10k less than last year. Stupid commission.
I would love to find another job, but the areas that I would like to be involved in are tough to get into. Photography, video work creative stuff. All tough stuff. Plus I am committed to bills for my house... Maybe I should go back to school.. I guess I should narrow down my specific goals first.

I think I dont like all jobs.

this is true. my help desk job back in school was awesome tho: we were overstaffed so had little to do, i got to play around with shiny new macs and leave the unclean pcs for others, and free pizza (courtesy of the psych department, not that they approved of us eating it ) on tuesdays...

You canNOT have everything you want. Ever.

I'm making about 1/3 less working here than the other job I was offered when I accepted this one. But I knew the environment here would be FAR MORE ENJOYABLE and far more flexible than the other job.

So, other than my compensation package, I'm happy. I learned a few years ago that money doesn't make me happy and no amount of it can keep me in an unhappy job for too long.

 

[MMike]

For the most part I like it. Always some less than fun aspects every now and then. But over all I'm pretty happy. (which made my decision to quite very hard!)

 

[Craw]

Mostly yes, sometimes no. I'm on the lowest rung of the ladder, which sucks. I have to do a lot of the bitch work, but that's what you get when you're just starting out. I work fairly long hours, which can get pretty frustrating sometimes.

I think you should continue doing what you're doing... working for this company and getting your name out there for photo and video. Over time, people will just call you to shoot something. I saw your name the other day, I think TrailCentral and thought, "damn, Josh is getting around." Just keep plugging away at your hobby until it starts earning you a decent amount on a consistent basis... which should only be a couple years at the most.

Yeah, I have been doing that. I have been thinking about doing the "low man on the totem pole" thing for some newspaper or something. Who knows. I feel like I should get in on the ground floor now.. Rather than wait to be discovered..

For now I will keep investing in real estate to make some extra $$$

 

[Skookum]

jobs are dumb, i'd rather be a hunter/gatherer but that's not how the world works anymore.....

Would you hunt or gather your new bike?

Damned hippy.... yeah you heard me...

 

[Morryjg]

I really like the people I work with and the company, but the task at hand is getting really old. I'm hoping that I can find something else within the company.

 

[manimal]

i LOVE my job. first time in years that i actually look forward to going to work. everyday is different and i get to drive really fast....legally.

 

[Echo]

There are days I actually wish they would lay me off. I don't know what I would do financially if they canned me... but I would be happier...

 

[Skookum]

Nope but i'd use my bike to venture off in the woods and spear me unwitting hairy infidel canadians. neaky:

Well then I would just wax my entire body. Problem solved.

 

[Slugman]

LOVE IT... granted at times things get a bit annoiying - but that is why it's called "job".

I do sh*t I could never could have imagined...

 

[lonewolfe]

Hey, I'm in sales too! You only work 60 hours a week? I thought living to work was what it's all about.

Yeah, sales seems to be a never ending treadmill at times. Like, most of the time.

It makes it hard to find enough time to ride my bike. I never thought I'd be a weekend warrior but.......

 

[derekpearson]

I enjoy mine

 

[Roasted]

Most of the time yes. I like the people, the work (most of the time) its the politics and corp 'restructuring' that takes away the fun.
