I hate my job, but I've got to pay the bills.

4 years of back breaking work going on 5.

Though it's much better than my last job I must admit.

I work retail. The holidays were brutal, I work in a store that has a post office outlet in it so no matter where I was stationed to work, I was busy to the point where my mind went as numb as my hands. And working in retail you deal with the DUMBEST losers, you start to wonder how these people even found your store and managed the automatic doors, they're that stupid. I don't obviously get paid all that well to work where I do, but I like the people I work with. I would rather work with people I like than make a dollar or so more an hour to work with people I hate.

I don't mind at all. While my shifts do last 13.5 hours, I get more days off throughout the week so that's nice, plus the work itself isn't very hard and I get to work around helicopters!

It's nothing challenging and it helps to cover bills/loans/expenses while I search for something better paying.

I'm retired, but I spend a lot of time at the local schools taking care of their IT needs since they have only one IT guy for the entire county and he's busy as hell.

I've taught a few extra-curricular classes on basic computing and HTML/JScript and that's always fun, because the kids who are there want to be there. I don't think I could do it for a paycheck, but as a volunteer it's great. Most of those kids will take what I taught them and show up the next week well ahead of where I planned to pick up.

If I ever went back to work I'd try to get something down the road at ORNL with physics or something, but that would require a few more years of schooling to get the accreditation required and I'm not so sure I want to go back to college at my age.

I would say I have no right to complain about my job. Deployments suck and I'm an under payed Network Manager-- but at least I can say I have a job in this economy. The USAF has also afforded me the job experience and ability to obtain certifications that I would've never imagined possible a couple years ago. SO, yeah, it's been good to me.

That pretty much sums up how I feel. I get paid on commission though, so I'm well paid in the holidays

Yes and no. I enjoy the work, but hate the lack of incentive to go beyond the bare minimum requirements, the barely-over-minimum-wage pay scale (with $0.25/hour, yearly structured raises), and the involvement of the union and bloated company bureaucracy in both the workplace, and the contracted employer. If I were hired directly by the site, and were given raises/bonuses/benefits based on merit and ability, and had some more freedom to make decisions (rather than sending it up through the chain of administrators) I'd be a lot happier. My current plan involves finding something different, in the same field, that I hold temporarily, so I can get a little more pay, not have to deal with a union, and go back to school for certification in something career-worthy.

As a bitter, bitter person, if you have a job you enjoy I both envy and hate you. It's work - as far as I can tell it's not supposed to be fun.

It is pretty decent. The pay is good and my hours aren't bad for working in IT. I will probably leave in a year or two, I could do with a change of scenery i.e. country.

Yes. Mainly because I'm the only one doing it (scanning medical documents for my dad's friend).

Pretty much $10 an hour too :D

Yeah, I do.

I work in a local supermarket with a few of my close friends, which is good. The work isn't too boring and the pay's nice. But the place has been cutting down on shifts lately, so my only option is to take any shifts that people offer me or get the hell out of there.

Being a slop-jockey for McDonald's puts money in my pocket, and its flexible enough to work around the rest of my life for the time being. It's obviously not something I want to do the rest of my life, or something that can keep supporting me as my financial situation changes, but it works for now.

Nope. I do not like my job. I work sun-wed from 6pm-4:30am the next day. 40 hours a week, and lots of overtime. I make $15/hour, so like $30k/year, I'm 24, so for my age and where I live its not bad. I'm a very well known person there because of my work, and everyone, including my managers, and other managers in different locations in other countries ask me for help. I know how to do everything. I can easily rank up and get a job for the company that pays over $50K/year on salary cause I've worked there for over 2 years. I have a 401K, benifits, and about $2k in stock with the company that I can cash in at anytime. But I HATE my job. I'm also a full time student at a university in hopes that I can GET AWAY from my job, cause it just blows, and I cant imagine making a life out of it...

Eh, its not that bad. Well, last semester was horrible because of peak season. 50-60 hour weeks during finals. I was taking 14 credits of upper level classes, except only class that was below 300 level, which was Math 271 (Calc 2) This semesters gonna be exciting...on tuesdays I'll have about 3 hours between work and school, and 3 hours between school and work. It'll be worth it someday

I do like my job but not because of the job necessarily; I enjoy it because of a person I work with. And that makes the job worthwhile.

Oh the joys of being unemployed and in school. I work when I need too but I'd rather for the time being not work and just live a cheap lifestyle (working when need to is when I need to upgrade my PCs :P b/c otherwise I'd still be on my pentium D ). I also have a filthy rich uncle who likes sending me money. :lol: for that I'm thankful!

That's a tough question... I'm currently in law school, which is a full-time job in itself, but I've also started a consulting company over the last year. There are aspects of law school that I like - learning the theory and doctrines of laws that pertain to my background (information security/assurance) - but many more that are more of a burden than anything. Had I started law school in my early 20's after my master's degree, I think I would've found it to be more interesting, but as a married 31 year old with a career under his belt and a new business, I think I find it to be more of a job than an experience.

I've held a lot of titles over the years: Professor, Information Security Officer, Electronic Voting Machine Auditor, Pizza Delivery Man, Janitor and so on, but I think building my own business from scratch has been the most rewarding, yet tedious experience so far. I don't have a schedule per se - deliverables MUST be... well, delivered - so working with handling my time and creating realistic deadlines and expectations as been challenging. Sometimes I wish I would be happy with settling down, but I'm not wired that way. I LOVED being a professor (4 years), so I think I'll probably head back to Academe after law school is finished and my businesses' brand is established.
