What Do You Do For Living

[doesit]

as title goes what do you work and are you happy with it,how you ended up where you are now.myself i work in retail for last 6 years,and i just hate it ,everyday is a nightmare,and its a big part of my anxiety,altough i had a choice to go to college but never got the grades needed,so am on a one way journey to nowhere now,gaining almost 0$ and with no will to change my life for better as theres always something in the way,and i know id be happier sitting without work,but eventually it would lead to more problems in the future.

So dbg community what is that you do for living and do you enjoy it,no need to go into details if not wanted.

peace.

I work in the finance industry right now, giving loans out and collecting them, pretty tough job, long hours, because people dont want to pay their damn bills! Its called a LOAN not a give! Lol. I have 2 degress an AA and a BA degree also. Also to all DBG members, I know money is a good thing, but do what your happy doing, even if its for less $$$! I am learning this the hard way.

I enjoyed being an Office Manager in the web based software industry for about 5 yrs, then after completing a round of 4 yrs in the Army, I decided to get out and focus on family. I've been fortunate enough to spend the last two years taking care of my 2 yr old son and husband. We just relocated for a job in the oil industry, which has been treating us very well, especially in contrast to the civilian job market in our previous location. The IT/ web based industry was great also.

Although I am so thankful I have to opportunity to stay at home with our little terror, and my husband has never complained about having a round the clock chef, maid, masseuse, accountant etc. However, I am approaching the point I will be looking for a part time job, probably something in the office/admin sector again. I feel it would be a win-win for me right now!

I own a small recruiting firm that specializes placing talent in the Video Game/Feature Animation indies. I f off most of the time to be honest. I'm real good at it though...

I'm a marketing person, spending my life trying to get people to buy things they don't need and lying without getting sued. It's interesting and fairly creative, so I like it.

I was a involved in an import/export business for just over 12 years, but recently retired from such work and moved to the country side to grow kiwi fruit in greenhouses.

Much less stress, don't have to wear a suit and tie, and no longer have to run a business full of staff and listen to customer complaints all day long.

Don't get the wrong idea, I'm by no means 65 years old (retirement age), I just had enough of the capitalistic system I had absorbed myself into.

i was one of very few people to come out of the dot com boom on top

some company called like google hired me and gave me sweet preferred stock and other options

i lived on half my usual paycheck, the other half going to purchase stock.
