i\'d give anything to play a game of monopoly at work, even though i\'m the ultimate cheater...my job consists of handling the logistics for a government granted internship program with the transportation and security administration and doing the computer graphics for proposals

Well than you have plenty of time to make mistakes. If you hate the job so much, take a risk and quit. In the long run you will find that having a job that you like/love that pays maybe less is waaaaaaay more fulfilling.

like you said before though, you get paid really well.. not gonna say im pulling in 6 figures anytime soon, or even 5 for that matter. which is why after 6 months im now going back to serving tables so i can build up some dough for summer excursions. my job\'s fun, it just doesnt cut it.  (if that makes you feel any better)

I\'ll tell you this I quit working as an LVN/LPT being paid upwards of $20-25/hr. when I was 26.  I just could not live w/ myself anymore being a part of the scam that is called Healthcare in this Country.
Now @ 35 I am back to making that and more in a job that I absolutely LOVE!!

It took years of going job to job all the while working on my skills as a Lighting Designer. Yeah I racked up a grip of debt but screw \'em what are they gonna get when I\'m gone? Nothing! So I pay my debts as I can but do not let $$ run my life as much as I can. So all I\'m saying is that quitting a well paying job is scary but it can be the best thing you have ever done.

as much as I would love to spend the rest of this afternoon complaining about my dumpy ass job, that I hope they fire me from today, so my sloth ass is forced to find a new one, I must get ready for my job.

I need to be nice and  :stoned: before I go in!
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.

I like my jobs but i\'m really starting to need some personal time. I work 65-75 hr. a week plus go to shows and work on photos. Just remember there are people out there who have it worse than you and no matter how bad you think things are they can always get worse.

good posts, leith! :thumbsup:  I love my job as a teacher & couldn\'t dream of anything more fulfilling... but, even if I hated it, i think i\'d make the most of it -  "You do what you must do, and you do it well" --Dylan

I like my job.  But, if all jobs paid equally I wouldn\'t be doing it... I would be wrangling reptiles ala Steve Irwin.  Unfortunately, I\'m pretty capitalistic and materialistic (not in such a way where I would ever look down on people who aren\'t or don\'t care, but I like expensive shit! lol) and the money at my job is great, and that keeps me motivated.  Some days, I wish I could say fuck it and do something that I really LOVE to do, but since working with reptiles wouldn\'t support the lifestyle I want, if I did it, I would be pissed about being broke!  lol... it\'s all a trade-off in life... it\'s up to each individual where values are placed and how much you can tolerate doing something "for the money."  If I could raise my salary by 25% by digging ditches, I would do it in a second... what can I say... I guess I\'m a bottom line kinda guy...
