Do you enjoy your job?

I think a majority of ppl don’t like their jobs. At this time I’m considering that this may be a factor that can’t be overcome. We all need money to survive and we all need to work. Add the element of time and it shakes it all up. On top of all that it seems the jobs that most may find enjoyable don’t pay nearly enough as jobs that certainly are not fun….. I guess it comes down to smaller factors and which of those you consider as pros and cons. For example you may have one job that is m-f 9-5 every week. That’s a lot of weekly time to sacrifice however it could give you the opportunity to take you to exotic vacations and give you enough money to maintain your hobby of choice. On the other hand you could have a job that requires you to work on random days of the week. This job could be 4 days a week but in different orders each week. It would definitely keep things interesting. You technically would have more time off to do whatever you choose however considering that it isn’t steady work your paycheck could be lower than the typical m-f job, not to mention the unpredictability may make it hard to schedule appointments etc… People live in either scenario; one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. What matters is what works for you and what you want and need out of life? Also when asking yourself these things consider thinking about whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert? Is your money or your time more valuable?

I work from home, as a technical writer, and a programmer. Although I enjoy both of those activities, I do it because I need some money. I would stop writing user manuals (which nobody reads) if a golden meteorite landed in my garden.

I work to pay the bills but I also make the shift fun. I keep people laughing even if it means getting in just a tad bit of mischief on occasion.

I know I'll never make much money, even with a college degree, but I'm sure I'd like working more if I knew it wasn't just for the bare minimum.

Oooh good one.

I personally Love my job. I enjoy what I do and feel am treated very well.

However!

I don't want to work. Just like everyone else I'd rather do what I want to do but them bills gotta get paid 😭

I love elements of the tasks I perform. But would I subject myself to frequently illogical routines, excessive monitoring, and control by others for anything other than financial necessity? Of course not.

This career is far lighter than my previous one. So, yes. I work alone. I bring my hobbies with me. Pay is okay. Could be better. Doing this until I can retire.

I used to. Things changed after lockdown though 😥

I enjoy it. Especially when it comes to doing the work. Get bogged down with some of the other responsibilities but overall it’s good.

No. I'd quit now if I didn't have to pay the bills

nope, dont like. but need money

Yes..mostly.
