Today is my 20 years in my current job. And I am thankful I am still here.

Soon you can have just go on trying or if you can have the chance too have your own business then do so. It is better to have your own than being an employes

@amitkokiladitya I wish you good luck. Just be positive.

@chavezrmc I will try once the things settle down

And how's the earnings? I love to do it too but my internet is slow so I end up doing forums.

@freelancermariagrace It will be good to be our own boss and I am looking for the internet to be an additional source. But too bad that it's only forums that i can try. The net is very slow in my area and unless I can have a better connection then that's the time that i can try other means in here.

@chavezrmc Not really enough that is why I am looking for another job

@chavezrmc Like you, I'm not always happy in my job but certainly grateful that I have it, especially in the current circumstances. There are always jobs going where I work (I work in civil service). I've had interviews for several different jobs but still stuck where I am. My own job is difficult to recruit because it's a niche job that doesn't pay well. I'm pretty sure other jobs are always available either because nobody wants them or because they keep trying to recruit their 'perfect' candidate instead of giving the job to someone they'd interviewed!

Yes that will always be the reason why we stayed in a job. It's for our family.

@id_peace Thank you so much.

I think I have no other choice but to stay. If I have my way then maybe I choose a different career but as I said no option in my area. Still thankful.

@Janet357 yeah our internet is very slow here that is why i can't get some jobs online. I can only be in forums where I don't need much speed on what I do in the net.

@chavezrmc i understand. there are places where going self-employed is easy.

You are right, we should be thankful to have one. But you are also lucky having your own business and be your own boss. That is a rewarding career as well.

Well if I leave this job then I maybe in a higher level now. But working in government won't give you a position that goes up with time spent. It is always politics that gives you the chance to go up. Sad but it is how it was and will be in the future.

@Shavkat Well you know as always, realization came late. But i am still thankful.

@chavezrmc That's why I didn't continue working in one of the local government agencies in my city. I had seen the worst cases and I can't work with such an environment. But I do like to serve the local people at that time.

That is a big achievement. Being a teacher is a noble profession. Aside from the fact that it is difficult to teach. But if it is in your heart then i am sure you enjoyed your wonderful 23 years of service.

yeah you are right on this. Just enjoy whatever it is that you do.

Sometimes we really don't know why things are happening. But congratulations that is also long years to stay.

@yoalldudes

@chavezrmc Thank you.

@happylife1 wow, congratulations. I know it is never easy to be staying in one jobs. And how it is so far?
