Do you enjoy your job?

the only reason i work is to get me through college, i think why am i working here for less than minimum wage, then i remember i'm going to college as it was my grandads last wish before he passed away and i hope i'm making him proud as i have been accepted into next year at college, and wish to own my own company doing electrical domestic installation

Im in the same situation here. I like the trade I'm in, I have a ok paid job for what I'm doing. It's easy, we have a good variety of work an I have no commuting expenses.

Yet there is something in my head which wants something different. Maybe the grass isn't greener on the other side?

I think we all want something different from time to time. It's finding the balance between happiness and salary. The grass isn't always greener, it depends what you're running away from. On the other hand, other taking the plunge can reveal a pleasant surprise.

Yep almost got caught out last month when I got offered another job. They looked very good on paper and it seemed like I'd earn good money but after some research and a bit of luck I realised they were cocks.

I've only had one job where I was content and I got made redundant.

I'm a sound engineer, making radio programmes (mostly live) for a certain British broadcaster.
Some days it's great, others not so good.
Management aren't fantastic, bureaucracy is ridiculous and I have to work weekends, bank holidays, Christmas, New Year, nightshifts and stuff.
But the pay is good (for the amount of work) and I get paid extra for nightshifts and there's plenty of overtime going if you need more.
Besides I get to spend all my spare time at work (quite a lot) on here.
