Some people are lucky because they've always known what they want to do with the rest of their lives. Others can go through life without ever really discovering what it is that drives them. Some people have career;others have a job. Which do you have? do you enjoy it? or do you dream of something else? A career is something that you are passionate about, something you have either devoted your life 24/7 (but because you enjoy it so much,it doesnt feel like it), while a job is just something that pays the monthly bills. Does your job make you happy or do you roll over and go back to sleep the minute you wake up, dreading another day at the office? How do you get that zing back into your job? if you feel stuck in a dead-end-job,how do you get out of it?

I have a great job. It is everything I thought I wanted but still every morning it's hard to get up and go to work. I have thought about trying some of these work at home jobs but worry that I will be even less motivated when I don't have a schedule to adhere to. Much like a lot of people in this world, if I didn't need the money I wouldn't work. I don't think it's my job or career that I hate but just the fact that I have to go and do it everyday without a choice of time or place or anything. If I could work when and where I wanted I bet I'd work more then I do now. I bet a lot of people would do that after the intial laying on the couch for 3 weeks.

yeah i think its not a career since your not enjoying it. its more of a job that you just do because you like to earn for a living and because you need to. Same here, im also like that but recently im doing reflection. i guess i have to find ways to have the career i've always wanted.
