Just questioning whos in a job they dont enjoy..

I enjoy my job which involves working for a roof tile manufactuer within techniacl and measuing up drawings, estimating, and offering technical guideance on suitability of products.

However, it now feels abit dead, and my wages are pretty piss poor.

Me, i hate it, i have been running my own business for 8 years now, if i could get similar money working for someone else i would be away.

Trust me holidays, sick pay, pension i would love it. Its not all its cracked up to be, but it has given me a comfortable life.

Is anyone really happy in their job though?

You ever looked in to it? its more about determination and commitment. If you have basic maths skills and good hand eye coordination you should be fine.

Have a look about. Got to be honest, the main thing that stops everyone is the money. I'm having to sell my house to fund it! great!

I honestly love my job, no lie. Self employed repairing, painting cars on more money than I ever was in a bodyshops, come/ go start as I please, no two days are the same. Its not any easy trade either/ so you've got to be on the ball.

im in a job i dont particularly enjoy, but then i think about all the perks of my job(being on my ps3, lap top, chatting to people, friends dropping by) and i realise im actually having it pretty damn easy

and compared to my previous job its a million times better, so i guess i should just stop moaning and crack on :)

i wouldnt say i hate my job but i wouldnt say i love it either. im a mechanic working for a mazda/kia dealer, money is chap but it is everywhere in the trade unless ur your own boss but then u've got all the over heads and paperwork :sad2:, and its just the same thing day in day out....... dont really get any "special" cars in either to brighten up the day, but i guess thats what the apprentice is there for lol

i love my job but the money is not great, but it must be a nice place to work as many of our staff commute an hour and some even more each way daily.

I would say i kinda enjoy my job, has it's pro's and con's.
at the moment i'm 2 days into a 28 day trip on a tug/workboat as a motorman/engineer, so that's another 26 12 hour shifts before i get home, possibly bad weather, dangerous at times depending on job/crew :crap:
in the uk just now but maybe Germany next week and should have been on my way to Africa now for 1-4 months, i just go where the work is.
I then get up to 28 days at home paid to play on my cars or i can cash in leave for less time at home and more mony for the cars.:D
I am thinking about other stuff just now though as the danger element is quite high, although not as bad as when i worked on fishing boats around Shetland and the North Sea!:eek:
