Guest bowhunter56 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: new job Most never find or get it, most start a job, then a family, and stay, salary goes up, even if most dislike their job, then they can't or won't quit or move on. I believe most of us are afraid to make a change or try something new for fear of failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvDog Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: new job [ QUOTE ] I'm 53 and still waiting Thank goodness I was working while I waited [/ QUOTE ] That's what first came to my mind as well. But to be honest, I actually really enjoy my job...working with computers, technology, and people. I'm sure there are alot of other things out there that might be a "dream" job but I don't see any of those happening anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBUCK Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: new job I have found it. I really have a great job, freedom control, great boss and just got a huge promotion this past year. For me it just fell into place, never expected to be doing what I am doing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeck Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: new job Found my first at the age of 29, stayed there 8 years. had to leave when the baby came for better insurance and being close to home. Worked at a job that I didn't really like for 2 years, prayed everyday for another one to come along. A friend offered me a sales position with his company one day in Church, asked what I needed to come work for him. Who says God doesn't listen, been here year and a half and I'm loving it.

wtnhunt Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: new job [ QUOTE ] I just make my wife work harder.... [/ QUOTE ] Guess that is kind of a perk of putting a spouse through school to get them into a good career of their choice. After the birth of our newest daughter and some bad dealings with the employer my wife and I both had worked for, I recently left work to stay home with the kids and deal with the farm. Daycare for three is too expensive to pay half of what you make, especially not knowing how good of care they are really taking of your children. Will go back to work or school when our youngest gets into school. btw, good luck in your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
