a few years back I'm also like you, "I hate this job, but I need to live" right ? at that time I decide to go and get a rash decision, I quit, I found a new job completely unrelated to what I do before, and start a new life, the result ? my life is a mess, I've never regretted quitting my old job tough, what I regret is why should I go to other town just for a new job. the feeling of loneliness is somewhat unbearable, so I quit my "new" job and back to my town, but this time I'm more prepared than before, when I go back I already have a plan for my life, what should I do, and I shouldn't. now I'm living a happy life, to be more exact I'm content with my current life. what I want to say is : don't be like me, that was a foolish decision, I was young and I was a fool, it's true. just think it over, if you ever want to quit your job, at least you need a solid plan for your life, so you wont regret it like me.

Hi sunflower and welcome to mylot! It's funny - I do like my job - it's the people around me who are making my life miserable. And you and I are in the same boat - I need the salary to maintain my life.

Sometimes we have to do the job we don't like since finding another job is not an easy thing. Thanks for your response. Have a nice day!

Presently I am mentoring Mathematics to students to earn a living. This is just a parttime job about 15 hours to twenty hours a week but it is my bread and butter. I like this job a lot for I am doing this for more than ten years. I used to work in the office but I got bored and I quit because I cannot stand the boredom anymore. I like my job because I am a great help to many students particularly students who are weak in Math.

I work in one of learning centre in my town and I can say that I don't like my current job at all. Actually my boss hiring me as administration staff, but she ask me to do many thing with a very low salary. She ask me to do customer service job, secretary, phone operator, librarian and even ask me to take care about the teacher attendance and lateness. What a crazy boss.. I hate my job. hiks.. T.T

I don't know why people can hate their current job whereas they never expecting to got fired from their job. I think it's just a human nature. Nobody's will satisfy with what they have. I love my job very much. Everyday i have alot of thing to do. I'm a construction consultant in a contractor company. I'm a bachelor of civil engineering. So my job match with my academic skill. I'm also a course teacher of some elementary student as my part time job. I love children so i can enjoy my part time job. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Before this I want to find a job fit my interest, but always be rejected of no experience enough, and I have to make a living. Now I want resign the present but canot get action right now, because I should pay for the credit card.

Nope I cant say that I like my job. I wish I had a better job the job that I have is just to tough for me and makes me to stressed out. At least it has been for the past couple of months ive hated my job more. I work at a grocery store and im the only guy there wich for some reason I have to have more responsibility like going out side to do carts wich can be hell when its full or taking out the trash then bagging. And I should get a raise but doubt theyll give me one. Plus because of that job my shoulder got swollen. So Im looking for a better and easier job that I like to go to everyday and dont make up excuses of why I cant come in.
