How common is it to work on a boring job you hate and will never get promoted?

[Anonymous]

Scenario:
The hobby you love either doesn't pay much, you have little time to invest on it, not much position are available, they pay you less than the boring job or you don't have enough money to build your own business yet.

The job you have to work at to either provide for your family, pay your needs or invest your future business pays ok but you hate it so badly. When you get up in the morning to work, you're thinking ''Here I go again, back to the boring thing''. You'll never get promoted and do the exact thing every day.

My case:
I hate translating on the phone. I hate translating 400 minutes to people. I sitting on the chair for hours and answering the phone. I hate talking to people nonstoppable. I hate back-to-back calls. I hate translating. I hate the job.

I love going to my Judo classes and learning new things. I love cooking new or elaborated dishes. I love learning about new foods from different countries.

How common is that?

I think it comes down to your willingness to search for change. For example, there might not be a better job available in your country, so are you willing to move away from your friends and family to find something better? A lot of people won't, there's 100s of those examples, so there's quite a lot of people working jobs they don't enjoy.

I would be willing to but I don't have enough money to move out. That money was spent on an urgent stomach surgery in March 2019 and I still haven't recovered it all.

so I'm saving for the meantime and trying to build a food business, which is taking longer than I thought

In addition, my ex boyfriend stole over $1,200 from me and he's never paying me back. That slows down the process for sure.

For sure, you should probably report him to the police too.
