this is my first job. i have worked here for 13 months since i graduated from shcool!! i am thinking if i need to change? i want to learn more ... i don't think i will do this line forever.. and i am young,i want to try all kinds of job! i can't get what i want in this company, salaries, benefits and other issues are not perfect. but the most piont is that i am a little boring with my job now... if i quit this job i don't know which line i choose?? trader or teacher??

it's good being a teacher and less boring too since you get to talk to kids a lot (and that is if you want to teach elementary and nursery kids).... i lasted 6 months on my first job. i get tired of things easily so i just collected my regukarization bonus, my promotion bonus, and my last pay, then i was out of there :D

thanks for your response, maybe we are in common to some aspect. in fact i feel i can't learn anything from the job now... what i feel just waste time...i really don't like this way! teacher is a good job, i think so. but my major didn't it..my major is computer! so if i wanna do it , i must get the teachers'qualification certificate first... i am in Ningbo of China, do you know Ningbo? is a good place for trading! and i am working for a business platform that can help suppliers find the customers from the world. so i think it's a good condition for me if i want to do the trade! so it's hard for me to choose! do you understand what i said?

my first job too.i've been working for more than 6 months.but never thought about changing a job.i guess i am easy to be satisfied,maybe i need more chanlenges. all kinds of jobs?i never think so,there are a lot of jobs i dont want to do,my interest is limited,i dont have that energy and hate to learn much things.if i've been in one area,i hope i can deep into it,quick changes will make things a mess.

i hope i like u easy to be satified! but i am a ambitious person. when i achieve a goal, i will set another one which higher!!i like pursuit...so sometimes i feel i bear too many things, there are heavy burden on my shoulder!but i don't know how i can adjust? outsidely i am gentle and quiet, but in fact i am not!! have a nice day! my friend!!

i worked for my first job for 5 years. i would say that those five years are my "formation years". my first job is like a training ground for me. it taught me a lot about how to go about my job. it showed me things that i wouldn't have learned had i not work for the company.

congratulations! you are a lucky dog! in my opinion it's hard to find your favourate job, sometimes you like it but it's a low salary even you enoughless for your spending, or it's a good salary and benefits but you don't like it... yeah! the experience is very import for us. that's the why i would worked here last 13 months, i have no benefits... but now i really really dislike the way of my life...i have no passion!! but i have to admin i learnt many useful things from the company..if i want to become a trader, i think it's very useful!!
