is working at a job you hate really worth your time??

You probably just have a case of the Mondays. I feel the same way sometimes too. I hate my job for the most part, but then again most people you talk to in life hate their jobs as well. Work is usually not fun, but it pays the bills.

I have a job simply for the money, I do not "love what I do". If I were to do something I loved doing then I wouldn't be making any money. But if you really hate your job and want to quit I would suggest finding another job first, then quitting. If you are financiallly stable enough to go 6-8 months without work, then you can think about quitting now.

 

You're probably going to spend more time working than doing anything else except sleeping or possibly eating. Is the money you're making worth that huge chunk of your life seeming like wasted time? I think that you should simply ask yourself, would I be willing to pay money for the X more happiness that I would get from doing something different? Because in truth, that's what you're doing if you take a more fulfilling but less well paying job. In my opinion, having fun every day is a hell of a lot better than having a nicer house.

 

Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you're not feelin' real well, does anyone ever say to you, 'Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays'?

 

No, I sneak in the side door so Lumberg doesn't see me.

 

I'd say 95% of working America hates their jobs... that's life.

 

its worth it if thats why supports you and your family

its easier to say its not, when you are young, independent with a good college degree

 

You must have not learned from Japanese. They don't mind working like horses.

 

I think the best thing is to try to let it go. I know it's difficult to do, but we let ourselves get worked up over such inane crap. I mean, how many people throw a ****-fit when someone pulls in front of them in the off ramp? It's no big deal to be one more car back, but we still get pissed off about it. If you can't think of a job you'd rather be doing, then my advice would be to try to get a more relaxed perspective on what you do.

 

F%*k it dude, let's go bowling!

 

Then I'd say now is the time to make a change for the sake of your own hapiness.

Once you have dependants, you may have to worry about their security over your own hapiness.

I don't know about your religious affiliations, but I really have gotten a lot out of Campbell's lectures on Eastern thought. Listening to a different system of thought may help you see how people from other cultures approach day to day problems.

 

No- get a new job, even if it pays less. I was in a similar situation back in 2000. I made far more money, but I am infinately more happy now. Happyness should be your #1 priority in life.

 

If you have bills to pay, then yes it really is worth your time. If you are single, and don't have any financial responsibilities except to yourself, then you should serisouly consider quitting if you are absoluetly sure that si what you want to do
