whiteboy · 10-02-2011 01:57AM

I think I will be, I have the opportunity to move up in my job which means I'll be able to make some life changes.:cool:

landsleaving · 10-02-2011 02:02AM

No, but I'm working on changing everything in dramatic fashion.

It will most likely end in disaster but meh, life is for livin'.

And congrats on the promotion whiteboy.

Student? You betcha! :P

--LOS-- · 10-02-2011 02:08AM

I was and then I fell off the path >.<

Senna · 10-02-2011 02:08AM

Yeah i am, i complain about things, but i couldn't imagine myself doing anything else. I love my actual job, just hate the unsocial hours involved.

Yakult · 10-02-2011 02:16AM

Was going down a nice path before, only to trip on a crack and break my ankle. Never taking that path again, will have to find some other one. Council should really fix it.

I assume you do night shifts?

Did a summer of them and loved it apart from the one major drawback; it really ****s up your day and social life. Best time to work is 11pm - 7am if it didn't **** up your life so bad. I guess if you we're a recluse it'd be perfect though.

CrazyRabbit · 10-02-2011 02:37AM

I am. Being a spy is great!

Shield · 10-02-2011 03:05AM

Yep. Only joined because I was too stingy to buy handcuffs. I wonder should I be paying benefit-in-kind tax for bringing them home?

guitarzero · 10-02-2011 03:18AM

Well done paddy's, we all had a great laugh to an interesting question, wehayyyy!!!!

MagicSean · 10-02-2011 09:30AM

It'll do til the lotto train comes in.

orourkeda · 10-02-2011 09:31AM

I dont have one at the moment

jackiebaron · 10-02-2011 09:33AM

The pay is crap but the hours are long.

we'llallhavetea_old · 10-02-2011 09:34AM

Alter-Ego · 10-02-2011 09:34AM

Dravokivich · 10-02-2011 09:53AM

Not with that negative attitude

D'Agger · 10-02-2011 10:17AM

Yeah love my job at the moment and it's the first rung in the ladder for me hopefully, if I continue studying while working, get the certifications I need then I'll be able to move up.

The pay isn't massive in the line of IT I'm in but if I love the work and couldn't see myself doing anything else

Nope, not a negative attitude, there really isn't a career in Call Centres. Been in here 4 years, I know what there is avail to progress through to and to be honest, it isn't really much of a career.

Just another job that pays a bit more.

Sanjuro · 10-02-2011 10:24AM

I'm doing what I've wanted to do since I was 7 or 8. It's not always the greatest of careers. It has it's plusses, and minuses. The irregular nature of the work is the biggest drawback. However, I do enjoy it and have no intention of quitting it.

Antomus Prime · 10-02-2011 01:42PM

I was very happy with me career as a plumber, then the arse fell out of the industry and now im doing a soul destroying telesales job..... It pays the bills but i actually despise it!!!!!

catbear · 10-02-2011 01:48PM

I'm heading for my fourth career change so I guess I could say I've careered from career to career.

Killer Pigeon · 10-02-2011 01:50PM

Yeah it's great being a student!

Loopie · 10-02-2011 01:51PM

Nope, hate it, the office politics that goes with it, the constant moaning from my colleagues who have the same level of love for the job as I do, my lazy assed boss... I'm just waiting, and waiting, and waiting till the job I want comes along...unfortunately, due to the fcuked up state of the nation here, that's gonna be a while!!!!!

Peach Solutions · 10-02-2011 01:52PM

Having a pay packet each week under the current climate is a bonus. I cant complain at all.

Kur4mA · 10-02-2011 02:34PM

Sometimes I am and sometimes I'm not. On the plus side, I have a job that I'm very good at and they're going to pay to put me through college or some IT certifications so I'm happy at the moment.

funk-you · 10-02-2011 02:50PM

Some people say a man is made out of mud but a poor man's made out of muscle and blood. Muscle and blood and skin and bone with a mind that's weak and a back that's strong.

You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. I say "Saint Peter, I can't go...cause I sold my soul to the company store..."

Vicxas · 10-02-2011 03:03PM

I wish i was, but i dont think a space cowboy job is gonna open up soon....

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 10-02-2011 03:06PM

Not really but then again I wouldnt call this my chosen career

The three universal truths

1) My co-workers are incompetent

2) My boss is an idiot

3) I'm underapppreciated

Fingers crossed for my interview in the mornig where hopefuly these "truths" don't apply

stovelid · 10-02-2011 03:06PM

Don't love it so much that if you offered me a similar income fro doing nothing that I wouldn't jump at it, but the working environment and pay is good, the work can be challenging and I can use my brain so I do like it.

Kiera · 10-02-2011 03:08PM

Yup i guess so.....

problemchimp · 10-02-2011 03:20PM

pay has dropped a fair bit, but I can work my own hours and mind the kids. Grateful to have work. Good and bad days like every job, but mostly good.

Gummy Panda · 10-02-2011 03:21PM

So you love going to work with anto and norm iron bint, and wouldn't prefer to lie on a hot beach drinking booze from a coconut with a straw?
