something you love and enjoy? I was talking to a neigbour the other nite and was telling him how I believe that you should do a job that you love. He stated that is not true but to me I could not agree with that. I myself feel I do what I like which is being online and learning and earning. SO my question about life is this do you feel a job should be something you love or just something that you have to do? Let me know thanks:) happy

Many people who are involved with a job will surely answer that a job should be something you love to do. But the reality is that many are working a job because they have to. The finances, the fear of having no money far exceeds the challenge to start a business they love or find a job they want to do. I am thankful to God because I do a job that I love to do, and at the same time be in a business that I love to do. What a wonderful day!lol

You ar right I guess there are times where you have to do what you have to do. But to me sometimes taking risks and learning from mistakes is a big part of life as well as learning what kinda of career you should be in. Take care and happy 4th of July to you. happy

How about a job that pays enough for you to live properly and have enough to make ends meet and take care of your kids properly and have a savings for retirement and emergencies.


myLot reputation of 85/100. momtrying2makeit (2372)   ranked 998 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

I don't deal to much in dreams as none of mine in life have materialized after 1/2 a century. However.. I had a really good job I loved doing.. mortgage loan processing. This was before the you-know-what hit the fan. I protested all of the ones I was forced to do to the point that they wouldn't give them to me anymore to process, but gave them to another processor.. But the sturcture and all of figuring out if thyey qualify and which program and all the things needed.. kind of like a scavenger hunt to get all the right pieces needed to complete the puzzle. I got really good at it and had it down to a science. Everyone begged for me to be their processor as I ever loan I ever did was funded - honestly and truthfully. They did kind of hassle me when they asked me to forge signatures or forge documents and I wouldn't do it. I told them if they want that done... do it yourself. Of course they weren't going to do it and they reported me to the boss who took me into a meeting and got on me for not doing it and I told her the same thing...I wont' forge anything for anyone for any loan. If that isn't proper company ediquette, fire me. But either fire me or leave me alone, cause I am not forging anything. They left me alone, but gave those files to other processors.
ANyway, I was good and what happened? I was taken advantage of. over worked cause they knew I needed the money as my husband was unemployed and I had kids and couldn't afford to quit. Raise time came around and of course there was never money for that.. but through out the year there was always money being spent on the boss'es personal life...month long cruises, new homes, new cars for her and her family, new clothes, best of everything.. but never a cent for a raise to me that supported the company so many times cause no other processor would stay. I could go on, but will stop... but you see one of the many reasons why I don't bother with dreams. Why hope for something you are most likely not to get. I'll wait and if it happens... I'll be thrilled. But when it doesn't, at least I won't be dissapointed.

Hi, i entirely agree with you. I would prefer to work on something or someplace which gives me satisfaction, even if i am paid less. There`s no point on doing something when you don`t enjoy it even if the remuneration is good. I used to work at a place where there was a lot of harassment from the admin even thought the work and pay was not bad. I left it and got another job, where i was paid well and the work too was enjoyable. Money is important but not that important.I am now retired and doing what i please, just like you and enjoying it too. lol


myLot reputation of 85/100. momtrying2makeit (2372)   ranked 998 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

We must enjoy similar things veejay19. I like to be online and that is where I make the most money. I could work a regular job but hey that just does not work for me. Thanks for taking the time here and happy mylotting to you as well. happy

hmm, I have to agree to both, you and your neighbor. Sometimes we end up with a job that we don't like, but still because our body need food and we have to feed others, therefore, whether like it or not, we had to proceed with that job. Not everybody can end up with a job they like. in this situation, we have to like the job, if not we are going to feel stress. Ok, let say, one day, your online earning cannot earn you much, what will you do? Maybe some will presevere, but it has to be logical right. When it trully needs, you need to find other job, right?


myLot reputation of 85/100. momtrying2makeit (2372)   ranked 998 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

I understand what you mean but sometimes we live way beyond our means. For example if I own two cars which some people do is that a need? I say no unless you are keeping the other one for backup and even then you are paying car insurance for 2 cars instead of one car. I guess it depends on what your needs are and what you want out of life. For me I make money online and it seems to be doing rather well so if I budget what I have then I think I am doing okay. I could always use more money but life to me is way more imporant than money. Take care and happy mylotting to you ucue2008 happy

I would much rather have a job that I love to do or do not mind doing. It has to be peaceful also. I used to work outside of the home and hated it. I now work from home online daily and I love it.

myLot reputation of 85/100. momtrying2makeit (2372)   ranked 998 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

I know right? This is the way it should be put forth effort reap the rewards and then help others get where you are. But to me so many people are so greedy nowadays they feel the need to just work and work and work. I will tell you I know someone that owes money on a old car and she gets barely any of her check I feel for her but to me I would just find another job and do what I love that way I am not unhappy because my money is so low. Take care and happy mylotting to you. happy

Well, its only later that i realized that i ended the job that i really love. I used to wonder before when my uncle is still a manager in one of the biggest phone company locally, i used to tell him i wanted to work in directory dept or inquiries dept. When i applied for this job, i really didnt know what the work is all about, it just happened that theres a job opening in a call center and i get this email from the job site that i registered. When i got the job and finally started taking calls, just then that i realize that i love what im doing.
So yes, i agree when you say that its best if you get a job that you really like, that way you wont have to jump from one company to another.

It honestly depends. A job is generally something that you do just to pay the bills and, in that sense, how well you love your work is negligible. However, this doesn't mean that you should do something that you absolutely can't stand.

A career, on the other hand, is something that you invest yourself in, soyou should choose something that you enjoy as a career.

There is one thing to keep in mind, though. When turning something that you love into either a job or a career, be careful which thing you choose. Think about what you love and why you love it. There may be some things that, if you were to turn them into a career, your enjoyment of them would be ruined. Often, the career aspects of certain activities are much different than the recreational aspects.
