I am curious how many like their jobs out there. The reason I ask is I have generally always liked mine. As you might note, since I have talked about it here, I am job hunting, however I don't hate my presernt job. It's more logistics and just timing that makes me want to go. I am afraid if ending up in a job I hate, I had that a couple of times but always got out.

Well, problem is I don't really have a job *grin* school is okay (and summer break is almost here!) but I am planning on being a vetrinary assistant this summer, and I can't think of anything I'd like to do more! So, when I have my "job" I will be loving every minute of it!
Good luck with your job hunting!!!

I hate working with people for who making a LOT of money has seemingly become their sole purpose for existence. It doesn't make for a happy or healthy workplace.
I like my job most of the time, but there are days when I hate it! I think if you're going to spend some much time doing something, then it has got to be something you enjoy
I know when I get to the point where I have that Sunday night dread of "oh no, work tomorrow", then it's probably time to move onto something else
Good luck with the job hunt Marge! Let us know how it goes.

I like mine!, but i suppose like any job i can have an off day, but thankfully not that many
99.9 % of the time I like my job. I'm a software engineer working from home so I work when I want and where I want. If I feel like hanging in TheCatSite all day I do just that.
Its challenging, its fun, I set my own hours and the money is pretty good.
The only thing I would change is the politicing that goes on with the customers and the idiot that owns the company has got to go.

I agree about getting those Sunday night blues, that is what i want to avoid.
But I want to try for something I like, its' worth the try. For instance I interviewed for one job recently that I realize, on second look, i don't want afterall.

Aside from being able to surf message boards all day, I hate my job but I've been here 12 1/2 years so who wouldn't.
I like what I do, massage therapy, but am beginning to not like where I do it. I am looking for another position. They are offering the program at the college 4 blocks from my house starting this fall, and I am going to try to get on as a teaching assistant and licensed therapist for the student clinic.

I know the feeling with the length of time, I have been in my present job for 10 years and I have to go. I think it's great to stay for ever if that's what you want but I don't. Plus it started out a partime job I took in transition and then it grew to full time when the enrollments shot up, the enrollments are down again.It's very boring, and not engaging at all.
I hate my job, I'm WAY underpaid, WAY overworked. I have the worst working hours that one could have, and there is no satisfaction is seeing a job well done. Not to mention the fact that the job doesn't utilize any of my talents and skills. My boss is nice, but he's a Scrooge, when it comes to paying, giving vacations and the like. I've been there 9 years, and I still only get a 1 week vacation. I haven't had a raise in 3 years, because he blatantly told me he was in the business to put money in HIS pocket, and he couldn't put as much money in his pocket if he gave me a raise. I was assured that I shouldn't expect one within the coming year, either. I SIMPLY MUST GET OUT OF THERE. My problem is, that I have become too comfortable in the job and I HATE going out in this job market we have today and looking for another job, because it's so hard to take rejection. But as the cost of living rises and no raises in the future, I am not going to have a choice, because I will not be able to afford to live.

Me too. If I don't I'm going to end up on the streets.
I really, really, really adore my boss. And I really, really, really hate my job. If that makes any sense. I'm an assistant at a computer consulting company. My boss is a cool guy, he appreciates me, he gives me time off when I want it, etc. But what he needs me to do I just find boring because I am too smart to call phone companies, order computers, and take phone numbers. It's not stimulating. Plus, I don't get any great satisfaction from it. I feel like I'm still a babysitter in some ways.
I'm going to quit within the next year and thinking of working in Non-Profits (I need to feel like I am helping people who really need it, not our rich clients).
I too am terrified of the job market though.

I've been on 3 interviews so far and it's getting easier, I think it's like diving into a cold pool and you adjust. I have even had the humilating rejections phone calls etc. But I am ok with it, I think I am going to say no even to one job if it's offered cause I thought about it more thoroughly. We can reject too! It's a part of life.
Hope!, one weeks holiday is all you get?!. I'm lucky!, i get 5 weeks and 3 days

The U.S is really bad about vacation. Often people only get two weeks, I actually get 3. But it's common to hear people only get one. Benefits are hard to come by over here, they project in 2010 just half of employees will have employer covered health benefits.
Yep, only 1 week for the entire duration of your employment. It never goes up, like it does in most places. And you know during the Holidays, when most bosses give their employees bonus's and that sort of thing, we get nothing. In fact some of our clients send us money in hopes that it will be divided up between all of us, but the boss keeps that money and uses it to buy our annual Christmas luncheon of cold cuts and potato salad.

That's bad, you should start to look around just to feel a sense of power witht his guy. What a jerk! You know looking around doesn't mean jumping just yet, I told myself I would just "test the waters" and it got more comfortable as I went along.
