SKI 15 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I earn about 1/20th what I used to earn, and still get 50man a month! Actually, I don't. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I just wish I did. Sounds like a good plan Reaper has Mamabear. Good for him, I say. Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't mention the word "real", but a job is anything that requires you to be somewhere, and do something for reward. As I mentioned, the abattoir job was a "fill in" job while I awaited the results of my final exams. @TB, crabby? Yeah, maybe. But I'm still alive and having some fun (although I'd enjoy things much more if I could be sliding on fluffy white stuff). Link to post Share on other sites

If it takes a year or 3 or more off to search for what really makes you happy then it's time very well spent. For the last few years of my teaching career, I was being paid to do what I'd have done for nothing. I was NEVER going to tell the boss that, though, or they'd have tested me out, and I had a need for the money. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Problem for me is even when I've had jobs doing things I actually enjoy, the fact that is was a job and I had to come in everyday whether I felt like it or not kind of ruins it for me. I just don't like working for a living, never have! Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 But doing something you enjoy, and being paid for it, is the ultimate. It really isn't work, then. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Doesn't work that way for me. Tried it and it just ruined my enjoyment. As I said I just don't actually like working for a living. Link to post Share on other sites
