Would you work a job you hate to support your family?

[Anonymous]

Yeah

No

[Liam_Hayden]

Work is to make money. Friends, family, hobbies, and interests are for enjoyment.

[Prof_Don]

Yes I would. A job is a job.

[whitlee34]

I did for years. I just made the best of it and never let them know how I really felt. Nobody will ever do that job as well as I did. I'm confident about that. I gave it my all and always dropped what I was doing to make her life easier. I was her nanny for the 2 yo twins with medical issues.
Then they scream the world is ending and they wait 15 min after I leave their house texting me not to come back. I call and she won't even talk to me she gives her husband the phone to talk to me. That showed me how much she didn't appriciate my hard work and loyatly meant nothing to the selfish bitch.
They are gonna fire me for no reason when I need the money to feed my kids they just let out of school the rest of the year. I can't think of a more inappropriate time for this. I was furious with myself bc even tho I was unhappy bc of mom I still had moms back and thought she had mine. That's what I get for thinking.

Limited, yes. Depending on the "family." Like if I had to somehow do MORE to take of the parents, probably not (provided I could even find a decent paying job).
But for a wife and if I had a kid on the way, if I felt I could tangibly do it well, and they gave benefits, etc, then yes. But I would try my best to suppliment with a career I love and see if I could use that soul crushing job as a temporary thing until I could be full time with my career... yes. But being stuck for 10 years at a job I hated, if they didn't pay well, and treated me horribly, I think I'd be done very quickly, especially if I felt my wife wasn't being supportive (like I would be for her).

I would HOPE that my wife or girlfriend would support my dreams, at least to a point, and help me try to achieve them. I don't really see that realistically happening, but I'd love for it to be possible.

Some of us work because we want to & some of us work because we have to. Some of us love our jobs & some of us hate our jobs but at the end of the day we just have to remember those jobs are making us money. There was a time where I hated my job & from time to time I do hate my job. There was a time when I had to work two jobs just to keep a roof over my head. As for supporting your family if that is something you have to do just remember you have to be working in order to do so.

[lightbulb27]

I would but I'd work hard to get out of it. If there is any alternative and the job sucks that bad, I'd try something else...

work is a big part of life so try to find something that is good.. You can always work for yourself, but that is scary stuff when have kids to feed and a husband to keep on the dirt bike.

[coffeewithcream]

Men have done this for hundreds of years.
Men have worked at such soul-fulfilling occupations such as loggers, rock pickers, brick layers, roofers, soldiers, sailors, castle builders, iron workers, high-rise construction workers, heavy equipment operators, heavy duty mechanics, welders, boiler makers, deep-sea divers, mill workers, and other similar occupations that kill men on the job at a rate 11 times that of women killed at work.
It's what males do.

[eninning]

I would kill for my family so I guess something like a job is meaningless, but yeah I would do anything...
What is the most drastic thing that you would do to keep your family members safe?

[Jaximus-Lion]

There is no need to hate a job, it's giving you money. There is many i meet in my daily life that says the same and 80% of it is just misunderstanding with a person you work with or something similar.

[Mollynotgemma]

No! Because I would not be supporting my family if I did a job I hated! I would resent my family ultimately for doing something I hate!

[MlueDeep]

If I had to, and there was no other choice, I certainly would do it as I definitely would want to support my family.

[jgokgotit]

Yes I would. My family would matter to me more than my own sanity. However, I would be doing everything in my power to find a better job.

[McKellar]

I'm working at a job that I think it's okay. Not the top-notch greatest job that mankind has ever developed but it's okay. It's the people that you work with that make you hate the job. It's not great money,... but it's something.

[mamasan]

I would if it was necessary to support my family, but I would be looking for another job.

[genericname85]

well if there's no other way to put food on the table and pay the rent, yeah... but i would keep looking for chances else where.

[douride2]

I have done it in the past & would do it again if required.

[TacosRAwesome]

Depends on how much I hate the job and how much it pays.

[DonCachondo]

The smart move would be to avoid starting a family altogether!

[Unit1]

Bingo! Lottery won!

[Angel_33]

Hating make bad relionship. Find some what make your life unique, maybe like paint drawing or read or make your body strong. Just look at this with optimism so nobody not know what have in inner.

[OddBeMe]

Yes, but not for long. I like to enjoy my job, since I’ll be doing it 50 hours a week.

[Node95]

To support my family of course but I'll search for something else while working the job I hate

[Curmudgeon]

Odds are your parents did. Just saying...
