I used to be one of those people who was not happy with my job. I worked in the corporate world and that life just was not for me. So one day I walked away from and decided to pursue my passion which was singing. It worked out. Today I am an entertain - not a big name but I make a living. I love my job. I live to go out on stages and get that applause after I know I have done a good job. I have met a lot of my favorite bands and have opened for some pretty big names. This is the life.

I love my job.  I teach personal/independent living skills to people with develomental disabilities.  \n\nI generally don't work full-time but there are plenty of hours out there for this kind of work.\n\nThe times I do work full-time I usually spend my days reading stories, doing crafts and playing games.

You are old enough to decide your career path.  Your job needs to be what you want because you may be doing it most of your life and doing something you don't enjoy will make you miserable.  Be true to yourself..it is your life and your career.

I wanted to be many different things as I was growing up, including actress and attorney.  However, at the time of my youth, women were encouraged to only be sales person, secretaries, hairdressers, a wife/mother, or elementary teachers.  I then wanted to be a hairdresser, but at the time, the schools only accepted students who had taken chemistry in high school, and that let me out . . . so I became a secretary and a wife/mother and I am still a secretary and wife/mother.  I am still not there because even though I am an adult, I am still not "grown up".  I still have dreams and hopes and want to be something else . . . this time an owner/manager of my own little company.  Will I succeed?  Only time will tell.  My job as a wife/mother has been very rewarding even though the pay is lousy.  My jobs throughout the year in offices have been very interesting, and I have learned many skills.  I don't want to ever "grow up" so I guess I will never be what I want to be when I grow up.

I am happy with myself and who I am, but I can't say that I'm "satisfied."  I believe there is always room for improvement, always new things for me to learn...always a chance for reflection on what I've already learned and how my perceptions of people, places, and events in my life have changed.  I want to continue to be a "sponge" soaking up all life has to offer especially on my quest to travel to at least as many countries as my age is now - 51.  So far I've been to 14 so I've got a ways to go...

Just to venture a guess here but it might be that you are not happy working in the field you've chosen.

Doesn't exist.\nGet a real job like the rest of us.

Work at something you LOVE... but be realistic no job is perfectly tailored to anyone persons complete and total job needs.  Such terms as 'if you don't love your job then leave it' are not really practical to the average working person.  There is always some factor to the job which you will not like performing for any of a myriad of reasons.Too many reasons to list here.\n\nYou have to appreciate the real benefits that  working will provide you. Therefore a positive COMPROMISE is in order. Do not waste time with negative and emotional thoughts such as... 'I'M SELLING OUT'.  Another bit of wisdom is 'SEPARATE your work from your personal life' which means if your whole social and personal life revolves around your job then you may  be what has  been called 'the COMPANY MAN'.  Dedication and sincere devotion to your company and employer doesn't mean that's all their is to your 'LIFE'.  Your employer has a genuine right to expect loyalty to the company and a good work ethic from you. Your employer does not have the right to run your life completely.\n\nDo you get my drift?

How did you know I wanted Hugh Hefner's job? lol\n\nI am pretty happy with my career choices. It is important for me to have a career that makes a positive impact on society. I want a job that is fulfilling beyond monetary gain.\n\nBut if you're wanting me to "dream big" here...then I will say I would like to be president OR take Oprah's job when she retires.

Yep.  Happens all the time.  If I found a job that I liked and was satisfied with what it paid, who cares if the family is getting hired?  They aren't smart enough to do what i do anyway.  ;-)\n\nLook at it this way...if they hire you, and you are not family, then you must be pretty special, eh?

Life is supposed to have problems. The whole world is imperfect, and noone is the exception. You can have good times and bad times, and you will always encounter things that you find dislikeable in your life. Your job is just to learn to deal with what you are faced with and that's not always easy for most people. Once people realize that, then their whole perception will change, and will become better adjusted and happier as a result.

I am happy with the person I am, I'm just not happy with where my life is at this point in time. It will be better once I get my feet back under me and can stand on my own again. I have never pretended to be something I'm not. If they don't like me for who and what I am they can move on. I have no room for people like that in my life.

Thanks for your advice. But what's the method could be if you really HATE your job?? I have a good-earnings job which I hate it, and it made me depressed already. I decided several times to change it to my favorite (which has about half-earnings) but I failed due to difficulties of life and the reasonable expectations of my family. Have you any special advice for this case too?\nThanks and Regards

I wish people would be happy as much as i expect but no they aren't. It is kinda like we are living in a whining world. Everybody wants more and more, even though they have everything they want, i think they still are gonna be unhappy. Kinda nature of people. It is not that only pessimism or greediness something more deep hard to explain. Because if they have been cured they still gonna crave for something. Sometimes drives you to live, and sometimes makes you blow up.

I hate it when people are negative all the time. It makes me wonder what they have missed in life because of that. If you constantly think something won't work or won't be fun, etc.. it only limits the opportunities in life. I say be happy, try stuff and if it ends up "sucking" then oh well, move on!\nWHY DO PEOPLE COME ON HERE AND WRITE A BOOK FOR THE ANSWER? JUST GET TO THE POINT. NO ONE WANTS TO READ A FRIGGIN ESSAY ON THE SUBJECT.

unmotivated people.  I have encountered people that I once thought were dumb but given the opportunity and platform to voice there opinions were actually much brighter than once anticipated.  We have to understand that a lot of people out there have either a lot of book sense or a lot of common sense but unfortunately don't have a very good mix of both.  I err on the side of common sense but when motivated can be very intellectual or better put will showcase my knowledge.  So I definitely think this is a motivational issue.  And if it is money that is the motivational factor which I suspect it very well is in most situations then until some is paid what he/she feels they are worth you won't see their true abilities.  To a side note though,  I do feel that too many people get jobs based on who they know rather than what they know.  Welcome to the spectrum- where does your light shine though?
