Anyone else hate work as much as I do?

[Jeremy]

I have one of those cushy office jobs with a fancy title. It's very easy (so easy I'm wondering why I had to spend four years in uni for it), but very boring. I literally stare at a screen 99% of the time and occasionally click a button. Kind of feels like being in daycare again.

And this is supposed to be the good job. A few months ago, I was breaking my back in a warehouse for minimum wage. Just shipping out box after box after box. It was as brutal on the body as it was on the mind.

By working full time, society tells me I'm "doing something with my life." So why does it feel like anything but?

Fix it by getting out of the rat race and starting your own business or investing in real estate.

Like most people, I'm not talented enough to start my own business. Office drone is the best I can aspire to.

Sounds like most white collar American jobs. But you're still required to be there 40hrs+ hours a week and look busy, right?

I just retired at 40. Last few years I didn't even go into the office, just worked a few hours a week, got paid vast sums. It sounds like the dream job, but in reality these cushy jobs are incredibly boring, golden handcuffs.

What I would suggest -- don't buy things, save your money, invest, get out, become your own boss.

I don't know anybody who doesn't hate their job...

Well what do you love to do then? If you did something you loved, you wouldn't feel this way. Can't you get a job in something you love?

Read the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. Maybe it will give you some ideas?

- nookie
- eating
- watching movies and youtube vids
- reading blogs on philosophy, breakthroughs in science, human biodiversity, and men's issues
- lifting weights

Kind of hard to make a living out of any of those interests lol. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look in to it.

I've been out of work for a very long time, but sometimes I wonder how productive some working people are compared to me. I've never been satisfied in any job. Jobs are mostly lame. You sacrifice x hours of your time (which you'll never get back) in return for money, which you have to spend on surviving, and then the rest, well it's hard to feel motivated to save when you feel like making up for lost time. Time spent not only missing out on doing what you like, but also being bored or demoralised.

I used to look for a job from time to time, and I could never find anything remotely worth doing. I racked my brains so many times, but nothing. Then I just gave up and didn't think about it much. Now, I'm spending every day doing research and reading and learning about how to start a small business. At first it didn't feel the same as looking for a job, but now I do think I'm spending my time more productively. I'd say it's best to start something up of your own. Ask Winston for advice.

What exactly are you doing Jeremy? It sounds like at least it's a better job than the warehouse job you were working in before, those jobs are horrible on your body.

I read an article a few years ago that stated, 90% of Americans hate their job! I believe it, do you know of anybody that actually likes their job?

I mess around with Excel spreadsheets all day. It beats manual labour, that's for sure.

I believe that figure. Most people act like they enjoy their jobs. Yet whenever someone wins the lottery or inherits a lot of money, the job is the first thing to go.

Why dont you at least try to make your job FUN?

Here`s a couple of ideas:

Let your office fill with music in the background, at a low volume level even. Its much better than total silence right?

Play mini golf/put in the office.

Go to the gym during your lunch break.

Make an outline of your trip abroad, with what activities youd like to explore on your trip.

If you´re single, flirt with women that work in OTHER businesses nearby. Even if it leads to nothing, it lifts the spirit.

Exchange "G-Rated" jokes with
co-workers.

Read blogs on your
Favorite topics.

Man you are spoiled

Practically any job, even if it's a job you think you like is still never self gratifying compared to working for yourself. Working for someone else is modern day slavery. Sure, you can do silly things here and there to make the job appear more fun but it's just a cover up. It's like splashing on deodorant and cologne when in fact what you really need is a shower. You can only cover it up for so long. In the end, it's still slavery, regardless if you lift boxes or push buttons on the mouse on a day to day basis. Sometimes you need to be a slave before you can dismiss yourself from slavery. Start making plans to do something on your own, it's way more gratifying and you won't feel as bored.

You'll notice that people jump from job to job, in hopes of being in a company that isn't as shitty. A job is always going to be shitty...maybe less shitty than the previous but still shitty. Any normal person if given the choice to be successful on their own vs working for someone else, will always choose to be on their own. The ones that say otherwise, are the ones that accept themselves to be slaves of corporate society because they don't believe in themselves to go on their own or in denial. There is nothing wrong with this, but me personally, I couldn't see myself being stuck in a cubicle 8 hours a day. I've been there done that...if I had to do it again, I'd hang myself.

Yep, pretty much.

I've preached this over and over again on this website but no one listens.

I've also suggested life coaches, real estate mentors, real estate coaches, business coaches and business mentors on this website but it does no good as no one listens at all.

People fear leaving their "comfortable" job and security because that's all they've known.

I would rather be "uncomfortable" and become a business owner and a real estate investor.

Taking action starts today, right now..............not tomorrow.
