Do you enjoy your job?

Options
Ok how many of you genuinely enjoy your job and have a real passion for it. I don't like my job and would love to retrain in a different area I have a genuine interest in, the problem is it will cost thousands to do this. I have a reasonably well paid job, just above the national average, fab flexible working but I don't have that passion for what i do.

    Not really. But I got a very good in my recent appraisal.

    I do feel more like waitress or maid some days than an administrative professional.

    I love my job but hate all the politics /drama from management.
    And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth

    When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
    Please know that you were mine as well

    Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
    And spread out into shapes like
    Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood

    Office politics is what makes things so interesting sometimes.
  • I didn't enjoy my job, no, and sometimes I'm thankful I no longer work.

    If you're unhappy in your job, I would strongly suggest changing it. Take a different routine altogether if you'd like. Make sure things are financially doable, though. You could easily end up in debt.

    Do you have a family to support/consider? If the answer is no, look into your dream tomorrow morning at the latest :)

    Take care.

    I don't mind my job - neither love it or hate it. I've had my career, paid off my mortgage so do the job to earn money to pay the bills and have a bit left over.
    Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free :)
    Mortgage free since 2014 :)

    I've just started to get Pension Credit and looking forward to be happily retired. And now i'm looking at various voluntary things i can do to keep me out of mischief.
