How Happy Are You With Your Current Job? (SRS)

[janky]

Well?

What do you currently do? How long have you been doing it?
How happy are you doing it?
Does it pay well (lower/middle/upper) ?
Did you get a degree in that field, and if so was it worth it?
Is there enough pay to compensate for not being happy (if you aren't), or is there enough happiness to compensate for being broke?

What do you like most?
Least?

Detective - 3 years
Reasonably happy (long term goal is to practice law, though)
Reasonable 50-60k depending on OT and part-times
No degree but working on one now for law school.
I'm pretty happy doing my job so the pay is fine.

That's not bad at all, man... kudos to you. Detective sounds like it'd be an exciting job.

Yeah it can be a lot of fun, but also a lot of work and time away from the family. Catching a homicide is a surefire way to ensure you don't sleep for the next 48-72 hours lol

[Khangura175]

[TrillBrah]

currently funemployed but srs I need a job

[Milan224]

outside sales, 8 yrs
Somewhat happy
6 figs +
Degree in finance, so no
Like the most, work from home, don't work many hours
Like the least, having to work, being at home, it's hard to stay disciplined and active

[ANDYtheHUMAN]

Good luck practicing law bro. Ex cop here. Miss it. Had to move to take care of kiddo. Haven't found work yet.

In my state coppin
Pay sucks
Fun as hell
Did it for 5 years made less than 100k in that span srs
Not really worth the money to get stabbed n shot at
Still miss it though.
Would go back if right department. Otherwise livin on side jobs seems to be workin n pays more.
Have degree. Useless as teets on a boar hog.

[jd29]

hate my job

[janky]

Do part-time jobs in uni work?

Yeah brah. That's where I'm at.

online consultant (2 yrs, lower end of pay, no degree, don't hate it, but it's boring. Need the $ so I do as much as I can to get by)
pros: easy, login when I want, can work at home
cons: boring as chit. literally one of the most boring jobs ive ever had

and

tutoring on campus (2+ yrs, lower pay, love/hate thing, no degree) it's got it's ups and downs.
pros: perfect job for a full time student, easy, low responsibility
cons: work with a buncha fukin lib-tards, chit pay

[crupiea]

I did a phone interview today for another job.

i did it from my bosses desk at work while they were in a meeting.

[jamalfudge]

Working in sales, my plan B (but have been doing this longer than I was in the field I went to school for, GIS). Pay sucks but I have a cool boss and a month of vacation.

I am probably gonna start a few affiliate websites and see if I can parlay that into some technical writing gigs...who know though. I can see myself thinking of the next ShamWow or something kooky like that, as well.

[Ascendent]

Relatively, yes.

Long hours, but I get decent time off, the pay is good for me (at this point in life) and it allows me time to work towards my degree.

What do you currently do? How long have you been doing it? 'Process technician' at a sugar factory.. been there about a year and a half now.
How happy are you doing it? I actually enjoy it for the most part, especially my coworkers.. the job would suck without them. Some days are rough and stressful when stuff goes wrong because it can go wrong REAL quick.
Does it pay well (lower/middle/upper) ? $21-23/hour.. it varies throughout the year... then there is a lot of mandatory overtime and occasional shifts I can pick up
Did you get a degree in that field, and if so was it worth it? no education whatsoever was required to get this job.. apparently a lot of people hate factory jobs.. =p
Is there enough pay to compensate for not being happy (if you aren't), or is there enough happiness to compensate for being broke? I'm happy with the job and content with life at the moment.. I'm perfectly fine with what I'm getting paid, especially since I live in a low cost of living area.

What do you like most? coworkers & pay
Least? the dupont shift schedule.. ****ing awful

[blownVmax]

HVAC, just a helper as of now. May will make 2 years and probably will be moved up from a helper to a tech. So that will make for a nice pay raise but I don't like the work much. It kind of depresses me to think i'm probably going to have to work the next 30-50 years of my life. That just sounds like sh!t lol

Thanks brah. Finding a good agency is something that cannot be overstated. Nothing quite beats the rush of a good foot chase or high risk warrant

[SCG]

What do you currently do? How long have you been doing it?pipeline pig tracker 1yr now
How happy are you doing it? Reasonably 7/10
Does it pay well (lower/middle/upper) ?middle upper 85-130k/yr gross
Did you get a degree in that field, and if so was it worth it?no degree
Is there enough pay to compensate for not being happy (if you aren't), or is there enough happiness to compensate for being broke? Enough compensation to make up for unhappy part

What do you like most? Pay/easy work
Least?being away from home/family sometimes feel like I missed a lot of firsts for my 1 1/2yr old son

[vegasbrah08]

I hate it

quitting in six weeks (srs)

[poisonivvy]

What do you currently do? Government Contracting Negotiator
How long have you been doing it? 3 years
How happy are you doing it? 6.5 ish most days. It's intriguing and policy is ever changing, gots to read, read, read.
Does it pay well (lower/middle/upper) ? Middle. $62k now. Potential to get over $120k with director title and experience.
Did you get a degree in that field, and if so was it worth it? No such degree, only certificates. My degree is in IT.
Is there enough pay to compensate for not being happy (if you aren't), or is there enough happiness to compensate for being broke? No, government pay freeze and pushed down to contractors in the agency we support. I really want telecommuting privileges back that I had with my old company.

What do you like most? My management team empowers and pushes me every day to learn and succeed.
Least? There are uneducated idiots everywhere, and always go with the standard "that's the way we've always done/interpreted it" motto and don't have citations or policies or ability to think creatively outside their little boundary.

I have a friend who wants to be a cop. I think he can do better but can't figure out how to tell him without being an uppity snob. How can I bring up the subject, can you suggest anything?

[janky]

[Joey0980]

Airline pilot, been doing it since I was 25, just turned 33......
Very happy. I hardly ever work and when I do it's usually one or two flights then off to the hotel pool/bar with the crew
Like anything else, some days are more "work" when the weather is ****ty and your gone on holidays/family events it's tough but I worked one day in October and three so far in Nov beard is getting thick.
Pays well now, but first few years were crap.
Got a history degree from Rutgers

Though the pay sucked at first I got to fly around a multi-million dollar airplane and got to visit some great places.
The pay is much better now, the airplane is larger and newer and the Flght attendants are usually young & a lot of fun (potential trouble)

I'd say the best part is the view

How's HVAC? I was thinking about taking a 1 year course. My parents don't want me too but I don't want to have a useless degree in the future and to be in debt.

[Schutzstaffel88]

In all honesty, who are you to determine what is "better" for someone? I began my first professional career at 17 in IT and was a sys admin by 20 then decided to be a cop. Life isn't always about dollars and cents brah.

met and partied with a few older pilots a couple years ago,they seemed to love it. thought about getting into the field

is it tough to get in?

[BillyBlackwell]

Overnight at a center for autistic adults with behavior problems. Been there 4 years
I'm so-so with it at this point
It pays lower, close to minimum wage
No degree in the field
There is a lot of overtime available, and the working conditions have gotten better over the years due to less and less client aggressions

I like the shift the most. No real managers/ceos/etc to bother me
I dislike going to war with some 250 lb STRONG AS FUUK patients that like to attack people for little to no reason. It can be dangerous (staff have gotten broken noses, vicious bites, teeth knocked out, etc)
