I've worked the awful job for good money and the awesome job for OK money. I spent over 2 years in jobs I hated. It sucks the life out of you. I actually lost friends because of it - I became a negative, awful, boring, bitter person who did nothing but complain about how awful her life was.

I'll take the awesome job any day. It's just too much of your life to spend hating it.

job i like.

I had a job like JennsPeeps did. Great job, pay benefits, security etc etc. But I HATED it
Hated getting up in the morning, hated driving to the job. A few times I got the parking lot and just sat in the car trying to will myself into the building(anyone remember that Super Bowl commercial? The woman sitting in her car screaming/crying?) I hated the people I worked with. Then began to hate the work. They touted themselves as "family friendly" but that was only if you were the dad. Moms got he shaft. Heck. Women in general got the shaft. So many employment laws were broken. But they didnt care because they had their "name"
I got pregnant, went on maternity leave and never went back. The experience soured me on that type of work. Which is terrible since i was/am extremely good at that job

A Job I Like... life is too short to be cranky all the time while at work.

Job I like. At 8 hours a day, the job would take most of my waking hours. Why spend that much time doing something I dislike. Been there, done that, will never work retail again.

I worked that job you hate for eleven years, however it was for significantly more money than this example. Triple the amount and then ask this question. . .It's a lot more difficult to say you'd rather be happy than see your family secure once the pay reaches a certain level. Just my opinion.

The only way I really like a job is if I am working for myself. I haven't found a job I love no matter how much it pays.

I prefer to work 12 hr shift and get my time in so I have free time to do other things. 5-6 day a week jobs are such a drain on ones life.

I would love to find any job right now, even one paying $9. If you think you'll like it, take it.
