    Default Do you love your Job? or have your Dream job?

    Just wondering how everyone likes their current job.I know in this present economy is good to just have a job but I am considering changing jobs because Im pretty burnt out and bored with my job and the conditions are not good.I am not sure what I want yet but am capable of doing many things.I just don't want to work nights and holidays and week-ends anymore and sick of 12 hour shifts back to back.I know they say find something you love and never work a day in your life.Does anyone here have that? and what is it? and what exactly do you love and don't love about your job?

    I just slept on the floor on my job overnight. 2 houses to tile and need to start at 5am and work to 8pm. Cant afford to waste time driving to Vancouver. Am I dedicated to my job? Absolutely Yes. Do I love it? Not really. That's why I have an aquarium, to relax!

    Well in this household I think only one of us likes our job, and its Mike (Main owner of account but rarely use computer anymore) But hes a Jacko of trades for multiple company: West Coast Custom Yachts; Princess ; West Coast Interiors ; and I can't remember the name of his own side projects company. But basically 90% wood / fiberglass (Not sure if thats now its spelt)
    Now I'm not sure if its the working with hands that he likes or the money/ gifts or free items he likes the most.

    For me I HATE my job. Currently working for Parks Canada as game control officer (quitting soon 4 months of jobs with no pay yet) and Mikes side projects company ie I'm his sexy clean up girl.

    Matt - (Gun smith) He restores / repairs guns, he seemed like he liked it at first now its just his payday.

    The three of us would like to get into having our own pet store some day, but until then gotta do w/e it takes to make that money honey.

    I like my job. Mechanical Designer for an engineering firm. I don't like the commute every morning.

    Dream job would be custom furniture building or renovating houses.

    I love being an academic tutor because it allows me to be a stay-at-home dad to Felicia and Isabella. Sure sometimes the work load can get crazy, but other times I have two to four weeks off when the students are out of school. If I don't like the student, I just say I'm too busy and don't teach them anymore.

    Well for now I am a stay at home mommy...
    But as much as I love staying home with Naida, I can't wait to go back to work! I graduated college when I was 6 months pregnant with her. I went to school to become a youth worker! I cant wait to see what my career has in store for me!
    Before I went to college, I worked in warehouses, forklift, order picking etc and I loved to hate it! It was fun because it was a workout! But it sucked to be sore all the time.. that's when I took control and did what I wanted to do!
