Happy Face Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I quite enjoy my job but would never say I.T. was what I wanted to do. Can't decide if I actually want to do this the rest of my life. I suppose thinking about it means I'm contemplating the options, so I can't like it that much. How happy are forumers in the job they're doing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I spend far too much time away from home and the family. I desperatly want a new job local to home but there isnt much call for geophysicists in Belfast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Im stuck in a huge rut jobwise. Totally hate my job to the point it almost depresses me and tbh I dread the alarm clock going off in the morning. Its at the point where I put in the bare minimum effort not to get sacked and am only sticking it out for the much needed ££££'s Currently searching for a decent career to take me through the next 35 years. Completely regretting not goin to uni or learning a trade. Apart from that everythings fine! bluebiggrin.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 So is no-one on here passionate about what they do? Not even the people running this site? I always thought it was a labour of love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Motivated. I'm working in an an area which interests me. I only wish things were a bit more settled organisationally, and that I got paid what I'm actually worth. Same old story. :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to exchange two tea making assistants, for one apt in the art of making a perfect cup of espresso.

ChezGiven Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 This is a hard one. They remunerate me very well so i have to respect the investment. The area i work in is fascinating but when it comes down to it, all business is made up of is self-interest and the need to make profit. The obvious choice is to do something 'worthy' but then you dont get paid as much. When i was in my late 20's i questioned this all the time and wanted to know why i bothered. Now i know all (or most) organisations are full of the same shit. The bottom line is dont look to your work to provide meaning in your life. Work to play, never the other way round.

Aye you're right but 'work to play' does really sum it up better. In conclusion to HF's question, my approach is treat work as part of the nourishment of life but its a means to an end and not the other way round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 'Work' is just the place I have to go to during the day in order to earn the cash I need to live my life. Sometimes it's shit, sometimes it's ok. :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
