Do you actually enjoy your job/position?

Question

I’m cringing because I admit this isn’t half bad.  I’d rate it like 8/10 compared to my 5/10 last job. My hopes are still not high on them keeping me around, but I’m at least improving. Today I got 32 clients and 6 sales. So I met my goal of doubling up on clients and sales, but its still gonna take a while to reach the job’s goal of 100 clients and 12 sales. Tomorrow I will aim for 50 or more. The only things I just really dislike are having to wake at 7am and sit/stand throughout the day. I wish we got laptops like my last job so I could lay around when I feel like it haha 🤣 But this will do for now haha #FeelFreeToList #SlowlyButSurelyImproving

I do enjoy my job even with all it’s difficulties.
I’m a TA at a primary school. So I go to a class and get a group of 10 kids (classes are about 22 kids) Andy group is mixed with kids who have learning disabilities and ones who don’t have that. Some classes I’m in the kids are 5/6/7 years of age.
Having two or three kids of your own can be hard (what I hear parents say) but now imagine looking after 22 in your day. End of the day I don’t want to hear my or anyone else’s voice.
Lunch times you get every second kid screaming and crying because they either fell over, got hit/punched/kicked… it’s never ending.
Just today I accidentally hit a 6 year old in the head with a plank😬 so accidents on my end as well as the kids.
End of term is on the 8th and I won’t be back until next year.
The kids are honestly amazing though. By 9am I’ve already gotten more hugs than I can count. All the kids are so lovely and even though I’m not allowed to say this to them, I love all of them, even the incredibly naughty ones.

I really like my job. I did work really hard to get it, and it has more perks than I expected.

It isn't perfect, it has its flaws and bad days, but overall I'm really lucky with it. I was my team's first hire, my boss immediately gave me the highest salary he could, and my entire team works from home.

The work I do feels like puzzle solving all day, which is something I really enjoy. I also get to interact with clients nearly daily, which I enjoy, and I'm empowered to set limits with them (something still new to me, tbh).

There is pressure, but it's growth sort of pressure.

I'm an ESL (English as a second language) teacher and besides living in the middle of nowhere, South Korea (It'd be like the Korean equivalent of living in Hoboken, New Jersey), I do enjoy my job. Honestly, I don't know if this would be my career though, as it's easy to get burned out teaching, even outside of the US.

I've been teaching for two years now. In November, it'll be three. I think I can go another four or so before I get burned out, even with a great job as this one. I don't get paid a lot, but because I teach at an after-school academy, I sometimes only end up working three hours a day (on salary, not paid by the hour), and I also get to work from 1pm to 9pm, which is fantastic, because I am NOT a morning person and never could be!

I'd rate my current job as a 9/10 and it's only not a 10 because I'm not in Seoul. Honestly, out of my sh*tty life, this job is one of the few positives in it.

I'm not a huge fan. Especially with the guy I work with. My company is so unorganized. Which those people make my job so annoying. But lately it's been so slow. So I'm getting paid to do nothing lol. The too rraso a I do like it, it's very close to my home 10mins max, by car. I have no breaks, but a 10 min break to eat. But I get paid for it, and a bonus if 30mins per day paid . But overall not the best pay. I never really found what my dream job could be everything is do enjoy, doesn't pay very well.

Sour-rose · Answer

Well what I'm going to do (again but with a different agency) is inputting driver's plates into the computer. Doing like 600 or more within the hours. It's not my favorite but I sit there, don't talk to some fukin' karen, and listen to my music. Sure, it's boring and to hit goals to go faster because they expect you to is SUPER ANNOYING. But that's the thing of a dream, you don't stay in one place like ol' jerry who's been with the company for 67 ye-what... what did you...

Keep on going with the hard work, efforts will pay!
I’m happy with my current work, it’s a work on the field I would have worked in and I studied for getting this work.
Initially it was underpaid but after three years I got a big raise on wage so now I can say it’s a 8/10.

TrillXHippy · Answer

For the most part yes. I love what I’m doing now. Every Friday we have a spirit rally where we can dress up which is fun. Whoever is in 1st place gets something that sounds silly but if the group that I’m in doesn’t get 1st place well that’s really not cool. Hosting birthday parties is cool. I can’t wait for the outside area to be fixed so I can do that

susie22 · Answer

I work in a mostly male dominated job, but I absolutely love what I do. I'm paid very well, have incredible benefits, flexible schedule and I get to travel often on the Company dime, so yes, I do enjoy my job.

na30m · Answer

I don't, to be honest it was my dream job and I got what i worked hard And studied hard for , but as soon as I got the position i always wanted I didn't feel fulfilled. And worse than that is I don't know what to do with my life now😂 i mean, this job was my dream come true and I don't even like it. I can't quit cause i have no other opinions or plans and I'm not enjoying it either. so every day at work is taking away my leftover energy
