    Right now I am not really liking what I am doing but I am already putting things in place so that I will be able to quit my job. I am really tired and the thing is most of the people that are on the job just waste time and I am the only person that really comes to work every single day and give it my all and still at the end of the day it is like what you have done is not even appreciated.

    I love what am doing right now, only once in awhile i get aggravated when i'm trying out something i know is workable only to hit a-sort-of dead end...it can be real frustrating but giving up is not my theme ;)

    No I do not like what I do. The only reason I like to do what I do is because it gives me enough amount of money. I do believe that there can be nothing better than that.

    I really can't stand my day job and I am hoping to leave it as soon as possible. I need to get some money together and pay off some bills and then I will be able to lose a couple of dollars an hour if I need to. Freedom has become very important to me, and in my current job, I have none.

    I'm a student for now, hoping to get into the marketing/advertising field for my career. Currently I'm not *too* unhappy with what I'm doing, but I'm not super happy about it either.

    Yeah that is the reason why most people start their own business to be in control. Feeling underappreciated for all your efforts and the boss is still a jerk in the end. I can understand how you feel it is a waste to work, but you have a job versus me where I have been looking and have no luck.

    Well, not really. I'm still studying but you know, the course I got is what I really want but when you got it, suddenly everything became dull. I don't know anymore.

    Hated my day job for 10 years until almost 2 years ago. Decided it's best to take a job with a small company in a much less stressful environment at less pay. I down sized everything I could to compensate and can nearly afford all the things I used to. Difference is I decided to start buying dividend stocks to get myself a foothold. Reinvesting the checks to increase or expand portfolio. October 2014 was the 1st time I purchased a stock ;)

    I absolutely love what I do. I don't believe in investing my time in anything that wont allow me to be happy or feel some sense of gratification. I think there is a line that you have to draw when you decide that you want to really go after your dreams. You have to know when it's worth investing more time and taking that chance or truely giving up.
