So many people are so busy focusing on the money, and other irrelevant details, that whether they actually like the job takes a back seat. You say it as it is! I used to hate my job, and now that I do what I love, I find myself waiting for Monday so that I can get to work! I recently wrote an article about what helped me identify a job I love, and keep loving it. http://www.greatlivingnow.com/2012/05/01/loving-your-job-for-life/ Thanks again for the great post!

I have fealt this way since I left school 25 years ago. I have a career as an engineer and I am relatively well paid. I just get more hacked off as the years pass and think what a waste of my life. I have a mortgage and family to provide for but if I could start again, I would do something completely different. Music or something related to it would have been great. I feel like I am too old to start again. My wife is disabled and can no longer work and I feel uterly trapped in a life I can't change. I dream of the day I retire... in 25 years. If I could fast forward to that and give up 25 years of my life, I'd do it in a flash. To be honest, I really haven't had a single happy day at work my whole life.

Many jobs offer such an unwelcoming environment that after you are hired, you can tell "you're not gonna be there long." You either quit or they let you go. Some jobs have some of the most "petty" rules without respect to "adults" being adults, like the treatment of "peasants", and servants-it is a wonder why Employment Commissions don't persecute employers like ____ who lays of employees for petty rules like napping on lunch break, and beats up employees to sell customers. Employment anywhere should be with the respect of an individual as a co-partner in making the business work, sell, customer service, etc. Training should be with the respect of informing the new and old employees of all they need to do and know for high performance. I have worked many places that hire you and throw you in the "pit" and you have to figure out yourself how to make the workplace your home after receiving several "awful" reviews. Poor employee performance to me is a reflection of poor training. A new employee is hired and wants to do the best job because they were just hired and need the job. Managers are rude, don't work by delegating all their duties to assistants, and co-workers don't work together in unity to make coming to work a fun place to be. The best employment I have ever had......was self-employed or government where I worked in my office and did the same routine every day until a memo changed things. Being self employed like other people paid on commissions put you in an atmosphere where more of your encounters are polite and want to get the job done because they dont want their work to be free and we pay for much of our own training. With such ignorance in the work place- many find it hard to find a job where they can be happy. Some employers have managers that need to be forced into early retirement because they have lost the attitude of the company and are simply just collecting a check and they have been with the company too long to not respect others. If most of the country had " Business Start-Up Money that did not require them to take out a loan to get a grant..........many could begin a business outside the home whose doors more than likely would not close within the first couple of months because the New-Business Owner would create for themself a great working environment with people who will help their business grow!!!! Why isnt our government working on this??? Instead of me looking for a place to work, I would much rather create my own business. Unemployment funds up to $300 week- so why must a loan be needed to get a grant for Business Start Up??? Hate to say it but, our government is meant to keep the poor-poorer and help those who qualify for loans headed for bankruptcy or slaves to the loans. Slavery, slavery, slavery. Definitely no color or race on it. Finding a career that really makes you “happy” is actually very difficult.

I have my job dream but i need to think of my baby first. So i tend to go for the first job interview i get and always hope i get the job even though the job is not right for me. I guess i am going to get a little job to have money to make ends meet and at the same time i will continue searching for THE job i dream of. What do you think of this? Thank u for the article.

And don't spend a penny of it on frivolous things because you will get kicked to the curb sooner than I did the way things are going.
