Do you enjoy your jobss/career?

Do you enjoy your jobs/career? If not what about it don't you enjoy and what would you do to make the necessary change that will make you happy?

I work Inside Sales in a call center for a Parts Warehouse. I really like my job, but with almost any job, it could pay better. I've been doing this for 8 years so, I think I do a good job.

I know what you mean are do you have a second income to help supplement this current job?

Yes, TY, I do enjoy my job. Been in Aviation most of my adult life, and its allowed me and my family to enjoy nice things (now) like BMW's. Come a long way from being a Chevy fan!

Niice what do you do in aviation exactly?

I dig my job. I never knew I'd enjoy working so much!

I hope to stay here a while. ...work on my MBA. Then look for promotions.

The pay could always be better, I think that goes w any job though. I do think my salary is more than fair, and bonuses don't suck

I part time at Spade Kreations www.spademade.com. I mostly just do performance upgrades after hours. The installers there focus on audio and visual. I get to install the superchargers, chips, lowering kits, lift kits, exhaust, and alot more . Thats only part time when they need it, so doesn't help my pocket book too often.

I'm an armed security guard, and I hate my job.

Luckily this is just a stepping stone into law enforcement, but I have plans to use that as a stepping stone into other things as well.

I like my job OK. I'm good at it and it more than pays the bills. I work at a company that treats us well.

That said, I've faced death from a hospital bed and if I didn't have to work I probably wouldn't. Life is too short to live by someone else's rules or schedule. I'd rather be traveling.

I like my job so much that I have stayed with it for 33 years. I work for an international company, and this has afforded my the opportunity to see the world while handling company business. My job has evolved over time and has never been routine and boring. My business travels have taken me to New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Malasia, The UAE, England, Scotland, The Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.

Update: Forgot to include Trinidad.

Hell yeah what is it that you do? Bill325Ci?

I just hate hearing people complain and complain about what they do yet they don't do anything to try and change it. I was in ther military for 8 years and got out because of a serious back injury. I tiold myself many times when I was in that when I got out I didn't want to have another boss over me. That's exactly what I did I made a choice to be my own boss and have the freedom to do what i want when I want.

I work for an offshore drilling contractor. I started out doing financial planning and reporting and other special projects. Over time I added international tax planning and US tax reporting. Gradually migrated into IT doing support for our EBS users, including implementation at our foreign locations. Never a dull moment.

Are you looking into other things that are going to make you more of a full time income if so what are some of the things that you'd be interested in?

I too have been to some of the countries you have been to as well. I've been to New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia,Malaysia. All I have to say about those countries is that there is never a dull moment.

I don't get why people complain about what they do yet don't make the necessary changes to live happier more fulfilling lives.

I understand what you mean which is why I told myself I didn't want another boss when I got out of the military.

I didn't mention that when I was in the USAF back in the '60s and '70s, I got to travel to the PI and RVN.

I was all over SE Asia when I was in the military.

Why do you think people don't change their lives and just complain? Complaining is not going to take you anywhere making changes most definitely will though.

Thanks for asking bxny1984. My present company designs/repairs Hydraulic & Pneumatic control valves for airline & private jets. I started as an Major Airline Aircraft Mechanic and moved to technical support of fixed wing and helicopter. I mostly BS with airline mechs now; called technical support on my business card. lol.

I'd really like to ultimately work the BMW Parts counter for a few years and start my own European performance shop. I've been doing performance, audio, paint and body, and some interior for about 8 years now (so most of my working career). I also play with Auto cad 2012 for some experimental parts. My dad is a structual engineer so I can input my cad sample into his program to test different metals and breaking points for that part. Im currently working on a twin turbo conversion block that works off any t-4 flange to convert single turbo aftermarket setups to twin turbo (so far a t-28 and hx65 are on the drawing boards) maybe not BMW specific but I could sell the hell out of them if I market it right

No, it's boring. I don't know what job I'd like, maybe delivering serviced BMWs to owners?

My job has sent me to Japan, Taiwan, Germany and Italy; I enjoyed those trips, even though they were stressful.
