CumbrianRam Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I like the job, not enough hours though, looking for a second job. Took me ages to find this one though. :wacko: So on the fence really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Ram Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 No for me. I fix planes. I don't like planes though. Or engineering in general. Now I feel safe flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Like my job? No.. Like the money? Yes.. Was a truck driver many moons ago and absolutely loved it... Had a CB and all those sad things but my cab was my cab, kept it pristine. Set off in the morning, radio one on and worked my nuts off. Made good time and then would normally hit Southend in the afternoon for a little R&R.. This was a time before speed cameras and as EH mentioned tracking systems monitoring everything you do... Could not do it now, I would get too frustrated. Feel for people on the road now.. Wish I could turn back the clock and hit the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 No. Outside of becoming a p0rnstar, professional footballer, or astronaut, that was always going to be the case. People who love their work are incredibly fortunate. Six figure earnings per year, no weekend working, 8am-4pm, and 3 days out of 5 working from home. And still, I'd give it up tomorrow if I could. On the bright side, it means that the Missus doesn't need to work and the kids get some real quality time with at least one of us. Plus, the financial security side of it is pretty good. But still...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramblur Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Gave up something lucrative, that I hated, many moons ago to do something I loved,but was a financial struggle.No regrets whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 As I do not have one as such...then no. I work in an office part time, though I may soon be out of said job. My career path was to be a teacher but it did not work out. I am doing a distance journalism course...so who knows. I am a late bloomer.... Is there much call for reporting distances? I think most distances are quite well recorded now be it in books or on the www. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he goes get road rage quite often due to idiot drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought.Bond Jovi Excuse my sarcastic friend and his attempt (poor) at humour. Regarding your long distance journalism course, do you need 20/20 eyesight or can you get away with glasses?

kinza Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 One of my jobs involves getting told by a 12 year old to fukc off. I heartily recommend it. Always has been and always will be part of the job.. the little darlings.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe glasses would enhance the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Earn decent money for what I do, getting a bit boring and stale after doing it 2 years but prospects are good for a move within the company in the coming months... so voted yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I've voted no because I asked myself, " if I could change jobs and do something different would I?". My answer was yes. My job drives me mad. Incompetent contractors, problems that affect peoples lives and people that are complete nutters. The two things that keep me going are the people i work with are a good group and the money is ok. Enough to get me a season ticket and go to a few away matches.
