Please be honest. What kind of employment job do you do? Do you find it thrilling, enjoyable? Is there no dull moments working in it? I welcome you all to make comments.

I really have no complains about my job. It may not be the greatest job ever existed, but I really appreciate the fact that I have a job at all while there are so many people who are unemployed or employed but not happy with their jobs... The best thing with mine is also because of the fact that my boss trusts me...

It is not something that come automatically; we have to earn that... And it comes with a great deal of responsibility... Once we abuse such trust, things will be completely changed from best to worst...

Hi sishy! That is one of the most important thing ever, the trust and confidence that our superior is giving to us.

I am a designer in one shipbuilding company. I don't really enjoy my work because of low salary and slow advancement. I am staying here for experience so I can apply internationally. Hope that would be soon. The work is not difficult. The problem is just the salary.

I hope and pray for you to land a job that can at the least meet your expectations. May I make a small comment. Seldom will you find a fully satisfying job when working under a boss. Fullfillment, satisfaction and wealth can be achieved in self-employment endeavors where you're your own boss and spend your time with it at will.

I want to be my own boss. I am planning to build a restaurant of my own but since I don't have enough money yet, I still have to work hard and sacrifice. I know there will come a time that I can achieve what I really want in life. Thanks!

To be honest, I hate my job. The pay is atrocious, making barely above minimum wage for the type of work we do. Now, hours have been cut, so I barely make any money, and my body just stay in constant pain from the stuff we do every day. What's more is that I really cannot stand my boss. All he is concerned about is time and money because he makes money of every sale, whether he conducts it or not. Constantly wanting us to work harder. I am not ready to kill myself working. I have almost done that twice and vowed to never have that happen to me again. In fact, I am turning in my resignation soon because I am back in school and the school load there is extremely heavy to the point where I cannot balance school and work, no matter how focused I am. The effort for school is too great. I ran into this situation before and chose work over school, making a huge mistake in the process. I cannot afford to make that mistake again.

To be quite honest,my current job is quite interesting.We go with a magacian to more than twenty cities in our country to finish his whole tour,though the job sometimes can be tired but i'm quite enjoy that.

That does sound really interesting! And you get to travel around the country, too... How long will the tour be?

Touring around, seeing lots of places and people is indeed enjoyable. I am convinced that boredom is less in going to places to show wares of make-believe (magic)to people and guests. Day in day out you encounter different faces of people and view various towns and cities. Is the income okay?

I am working online and I find it quite interesting and enjoyable. Actually, I have had my fill of office work since I have continuously worked for the HR Department for more than 20 years of my life. While I enjoyed the job, it was often stressing dealing with all sorts of people from clients, employees and bosses. Every person has his own peculiarities and it becomes very difficult to adjust especially if the bosses are the ones who become too demanding. With my current job, I find it fun but not really easy. I have to be in front of the computer all day long without any distractions. However, the returns are good enough.

I'm glad you've found working online interesting and enjoyable. Is it profitable? What sites do you go to to make money? Have you retired from government service? I'm just interested.

No I was not connected with the government. I worked for a private company for 20 years. Online work can be very interesting and returns are satisfactory enough to enjoy a good life. I am into article writing which also needs a lot of patience, efforts and time to earn rather well.

Hi nic! My present job is the second most beautiful thing that I have. Although I know that my educational background does not fit on this job, but the learning process would be easier if you love what you are doing. I am a public servant and I enjoy it when I know that what I am doing can help other people. Have a nice day!

Hi ARIES, I have gone over to your bio and I know exactly where you are and what you do. I'm a retired DILG Officer. Getting rapport with people in the community and teaching provincial, municipal and barangay officials their official function and role is one of the most enjoyable time I ever had. It's unlike teaching, my former job for 10 years, where I was tied to the 4 walls of the classroom day in day out. If you mean online money-marketing as your "second most beautiful thing" then enjoy it like I do. Probably you're a self-taught computer bug like what I am. I just learn the ABC of computership together with my grandsons and granddaughters when their parents provided them computer sets. There was nobody to teach us how but followed computer directions. Hi dixie... don't be bothered or misled by administrators. Study them well, find their weaknesses to gain their confidence and goodwill. The rest is sailing smooth waters.

It is quite enjoyable because I love my work, but the people in the administration causes it's hell. Beacause they want you to do the things that they can't. They use their position to overpower us.hmp!

I do a lot of online jobs. I cannot have just one job because I have attention deficit disorder. I cannot focus to one thing. I enjoy working online a lot because I get to work to whoever I want, whenever I want. I always see to it that I am enjoying every job that I do.

I believe it's fine for everyone like you to work online on a number of sites. I believe you find it challenging and thought provoking. It's indeed rewarding especially if you can cope working on them.

I don't really found it enjoyable as you described it. It is more labor intensive, and we have to work according to timing, they actually time us. Oh well, I got no choice, but to make my assignment on time, and trying to make as much money as I can. I felt like that I was wasting my time there somehow. You know what, I work 2 jobs, one part - time during the weekend. I don't really like the manager there, she is the "devil".

Well, dance to the music as they say. Try to win the goodwill of all. You'll find it satisfying in the accomplishment of your goals.

Thanks the Lord, Carlos... Not all employees are given that chance.
