Does your job challenge you? Areyou exposed to new thigns or is it mundane?

What do you do?

What do you do?

How do you feel about it?

I take it easy all day long for as long as I can. I don't like challenges, except in the gym. I like a very low stress life and I meditate a lot. Next question.

 

[from zero]

I've definitely learned some valuable skills, but it is often dreary and mundane in here.

 

[DepressiveJuice]

you going to be offering jobs?

 

[Stangfriik]

My job is absolutely mindnumbing. I feel as though I have honestly become dumber since being here.

I do customer support so you can understand the monotony.

I always told myself that I would never be stuck behind a deisk tapping away at a computer but here I am.

I have nobody to blame except myself though. I considered my social life more important than education which of course doesn't make for a good plan for the future. So here I am trying to figure out what I wanna do.

I am currently in the process of starting a computer parts reselling business. I've always wanted to be my own boss so hopefully this will work out.

Are the things you do now teaching you business skills that will help you later?

A. Yes, all day, always exposed to new experiences, especially this week

B. Director/Supervisor - directly oversee 12 employees-corporate fitness, retail store owner, personal trainer (extra 30k a year, based on last year)

C. I feel great and blessed, why? My work allows me to save, save, save, must milk it for all it is worth, nothing last forever. peace

 

[GoldenDelicious]

Does your job challenge you? Areyou exposed to new thigns or is it mundane?

both. if you are motivated to learn, then you will be stimulated in return. if you want to coast, you can, but you soon get bored. my profession has an average burn out time of 10 years.

What do you do?

legal distributor of drugs and supplier of professional advice for their safe and therapeutic use

How do you feel about it?

bored. way over it all. im always looking at sick people, and im indoors too much

Are the things you do now teaching you business skills that will help you later?

yes but only in the same industry. im a glorified shopkeeper

are you investigating some human resource management theory you have? or just good ol curiosity?

 

[overhead]

Does your job challenge you? Areyou exposed to new thigns or is it mundane?
Yep, new chanllenges all the time. It seems that everyday someone has figure out how to break something in a new and creative way. I get to travel some and that also helps to keep it interesting.

What do you do?
IT work for a large enterprise, somewhere around 225,000 users.

How do you feel about it?
It's a job, they pay me well, and it looks good on my resume.

Are the things you do now teaching you business skills that will help you later?
I am always learning new technical skills, but that is not the main thing. I am learning how politics in a large organization work, how to manage difficult people and customers.

 

[jerkbox]

my job challenges my patience sometime....no, dealing with other people challenges my patience.

as far as my job goes, executing the work I am skilled in really isn't a challenge.

I'm considering a career change, but I feel like a college freshman who doesn't know what to major in.

I've learned a lot about business in my long 6 yrs in the workforce...but I have a lot to learn.

 

[onerepmaximum]

I'm a system administrator. I'm at work right now. Does that answer any of your questions about how challenged I am?

 

[DocHoliday]

Does your job challenge you? Areyou exposed to new things or is it mundane?

Very Challenging...Exposed to many different things coming from many different people at a moments notice...

What do you do?
Professional Athlete

How do you feel about it?
Hell yeah!! Pay, Benefits, Hours, Classy People, It Rocks!!

Are the things you do now teaching you business skills that will help you later?

I learn everyday and I am being exposed to things that are definately giving me an advantage on my resume in the future.

 

[benevolent anarchist]

Nope, I became a whore. I sold my soul. Okay, it’s not really that bad. I made my choices and I’m very happy. I graduated college looking for an exciting job in the field of my major. That didn’t happen, but the company I started working for pacified me with raises, bonuses, perks, and finally the ultimate prize—shares in the company. I never really liked this line of work, but there comes a time when you have to make a decision; do you want to do what you want to do, or do you want to do what will pay you a lot of money. Since financial success has always been my top priority, I chose the later. A select lucky few are able be financially successful while doing something they truly enjoy, and to those of you that fall into that category, I am truly happy (and a little envious) for you.

So in a nutshell; I work for and own a company that does not always stimulate me mentally, but that allows me to pay myself a handsome salary. My silver lining is that I can always drop out, sell my shares, and go do something that I really enjoy… …like open a gym. <wink>

- Yes it challenges me, Always exposed to new things and new people. Always new things to deal with, and new projects to work on. Things get a little out of hand sometimes but helps to keep me on my toes.

- I'm the "Marketing and Affiliate Manager" for a major On-Line Bodybuilding community(temporary filling in as Community Administrator) and on also work in Club Promotions for a couple of Nightclubs.

- I feel pretty fulfilled by my job, I’m pretty much my own boss and architect of my own career. I make my own hours take time off when I need it, and distribute my time how I see fit. I have the ability to work from home if it is needed. Boss is pretty cool and is always looking to set me up for success.

- Yes! Very much so, I have learned more about business/life working here that I have at any school. My boss is a marketing genius, and is a master at turning bitter lemons into sweet’ol lemonade. Like anybody trying to get anywhere in life, I’m learning from somebody who is already successful.

PS: A major advantage here is that I'm learning to think like a business owner and not an employee.

 

[Scarlett33]

I can't complain. My job isn't exciting, but it pays well and I have a lot of free time. Plus I love my boss.

1) To being challenged and being exposed to new things....in a way yes, in a way no. What's challenging is that I have been put in a situation dealing LITERALLY with people's lives. I am exposed to people's feelings and emotions, in particular, their depression and need for friendship. In this line of work I see how the human mind works, and how relationships altogether work.

2) I help disabled individuals.

3) I will never get wealthy doing what I'm doing, but I have become rich in spirit knowing that I help those less forunate than myself to be able to live normal lives.

4) The things I do now aren't teaching me business skills, but they are most definitely teaching me life skills, in particular with RELATIONSHIPS. In that sense, I have for sure learned a lot!

 

[FitFossil]

I love my job. I'm a computer programmer for a small company, so I get to do a lot of different things, which includes some grunt work, but other than that, I'm like a one-stop-shop. I get to develop projects from start to finish. It may not be as glamorous as working for a big name company, but I wouldn't trade it. I have a lot of creative freedom and get to spend most of my time writing code and not sitting in meetings or waiting on other people to do their work before I can do mine. And when the end of the month rolls around for payday, I'm always thinking "I can't believe they pay me to do this!"

 

[toga22]

First off I am a believer in the idea that your job is what you make of it... If a person works hard and wants to be successful they are more motivated to work, and will find even the simple aspects of their job rewarding. Or a person can choose to take the easier road by showing up for work putting forth a minimal effort with the only reward out of showing up at work is the paycheck.

The company that I work for now I started at the bottom in an entry level position, and have since worked my way up the ladder with jobs in the areas of Manufacturing Support, Materials, Quality, Production Manager, and now as an Engineer. The new challenges don't always come and land on my desk, most of the time I have searched them out. Offering my time to gain experience in new aspects. I am highly motivated, and even though I sometimes become stressed out, feeling that a new "challenge" is over my head, I gain a lot of satisfaction in completing projects/tasks that I and others believed I would fail at.

I would like to further add that I am looking to possibly start up a business in the next couple years regarding the field I am in. I've been working this job for a couple years now and see a market that is being neglected, so I hope to tap into that market soon. I would have never seen this potential market had I not been working the job I am in now.

My job does not challenge me at all. Words can't describe how boring it is. The only new things I am exposed to are new people from time to time and new ways of stealing from the office supply storage without getting caught.

Lets just say Biteme and myself have chosen the same career path.

Its a low stress easy job. Other than that I hate it. The politics, ass kissing type stuff. Shit pay and lousy hours. I made choices though so I have no one but myself to blame. I chose to flake off in school and be a dumbass. So I fucked myself. I have friends that I grew up with and most of them are successful. Own their own buisness, big dogs on the coporate ladder, etc... Only hope for me now is if I ever have kids one day and they follow in my footsteps. I will disown them. So the goal is to nip it in the bud when they are young and hope they don't make the same choices. My dad told me long ago: "Son going to college can make the difference between having a job you hate and pays shit. Or having a job you hate that pays well." Now I know what he mean't. I'm fairly young, 25, and people still tell me its not to late. But I know it is.

As far as business skills are concerned. Perhaps. Once in awhile when the big bosses are away I get to play supervisor based on my senority with the company. Other than that I can't see it making any fuckin difference on my resume. Well, I have learned about customer interaction and how to deal with people more.

Damn bro don't be so hard on yourself!! It is NOT too late for you! Are you mad??!! You're ONLY 25 dude, you have plenty of time left to change your career and life and get into something you enjoy. You sound like you've given up on your future and that's heartbreaking really at only 25. I feel bad for you that you don't think there is any hope left. You have PLENTY of opportunity left, just don't waste time and act NOW! If you want something you have to go out and get it, it won't just magically land on your lap. People are lucky because they put themselves in a position to get lucky.

I hate it when people say, "Well it's over for me, but when I have kids I'll make sure they don't follow in my footsteps." It's like you are giving up and putting all of YOUR hopes, dreams, and ambitions onto your future children and in a way, taking the easy way out of accomplishing something for YOURSELF. This only puts 10 times the pressure on your kids. What about YOU?? Don't you want anything for yourself?? Don't give up man!!

Seriously I wish you the best of luck.

 

[OMGWTFBBQ]

My job is a waste of my time and my talent.

I am basically using it legally right now until I am married and hoping to get something better or move more on my own ventures.

I tell people what I'm good at and they glaze over and translate it to "he works with computers" and then worse yet, they figure that is the same as "he loves doing anything that involves a computer" and then even worse yet "he knows and loves everything about anything that uses electricity".

Oh well - at least I'm young.

 

[tuc biscuit]

it's pretty much all I can do not to punch anyone/everyone who either looks at or speaks to me at my job

 

[gonelifting]

I don` have a job so I`m in pretty bad shape. I wish I had the desire to do...stuff. I just don`t. That answers a lot of the questions.

Without drive, You don`t have much.

Another lesson to be learned for the youth. Learn from my mistakes.

I'm the senior Owner-master Repair Technician.

How do you feel about it?

I have a satifaction of running my own business,However i feel threatened,All my competition has left. Fancier & more sophisciated electronics make turning a profit almost impossible sometimes.


Are the things you do now teaching you business skills that will help you later?

This really sucks.....I am the best in the business-I have strived for 32yrs to get that way & become certified,Reciently i began to explore other job options,and was turned down becaused i was overqualified....What a bunch of crap.
So -to sum it up..no matter how good i am or get,i might as well be a grocery bag boy!!!!

Yes, in my line of work i am always faced with a new challenge.

And I am always exposed to new things.

I license and inspect foster homes for the State of Illinois. Been doing Child Welfare for 10 years. It is a very challenging and demanding field.

I'm not sure how I feel about it LOL But I do know that i have developed a "thick skin" considering everything i have seen.

I dont think I am necessarily learning new business skills. But maybe problem-solving skills.

 

[FISHTALES]

I sell seafood to various restaurants here in Jax, I do feel challenged because Im competing against other wholesalers in town, so I have to be aware of where the market is on all aspects of the seafood Industry. Im also challenged to make sure the guys that work for me are doing there job, preparing, packing(properly), and delivering the product under the proper health, FDA, guidelines. I also am responsible for inventory and purchase of the seafood for both the wholesale and the retail store. I do find it challenging because the market is always changing and competition is always right behind me, and to do it all and stay honest is the hardest part especially when you know the competition isnt.

Currently employed as a credit analyst/recovery rep for commercial equipment finance company. Rarely exposed to 'new things' , spend the bulk of my day interacting with deceptive dealers and a clientele that would be generously categorized as....

The work environment is fast paced but monotonous. My superiors praise me for my work ethic and ability to think on my feet, but it does not translate into an opportunity for advancement. I would like to further my education, but the finances are in disarray, paychecks are inhaled by creditors and grad or law school is not an option at the moment.

The frustration and feelings of professional and intellectual inadequacy have affected nearly every other area of my day to day existence. I dont object to working 12 to 16 hours a day, but the daily routine closely resembles that of Mr. Sissyphus.

my job is different everyday, i dont even know what to expect when i walk in the door. i love it

If I work hard at my job it is challenging. I find it pretty mundane computer hardware will never be my passion. (Passion is broadcast journalism... still trying to get a break in the biz.)

I am an account manager (I.T sales yawn!)
I also waitress/bartend part time not a challange but it can be a lot of fun and I am really good at it.

The only good thing is that I am learning a lot and have learned a lot. I hope to use it to my advantage in my field of choice some day.

Yes....I am extremely challenged when I am working but I had lots of free time until recently.

I own a custom reef aquarium and a photography business.

It was perfect until the recession hit and injured it. 9/11 almost killed it. What has saved me is clients that keep me despite almost closing their doors due to dreadful business conditions n Denver. Photography is the first thing to go in a recession.


One never quite learning about business.


Working for others is far, far easier than being self employed. When we make a mistake, we absorb every penny of it. Lots of people are gunning for us. Customers looking for lawsuit money, competitors looking for our customers, governor wants his share. They can all shut us down if we make the wrong mistakes.

I am remodeling a house into a studio to meet customers and do shoots a couple times a week. I have already heard that the police may try to shut me down for having a home business after exactly one customer visit. Thrilling.

 

[-SD-]

My job is mundane. Not challenging. Im inventory control and tech support at a copier machine seller. Thats why Im going to school then grad school so I can have the opportunity to be more successful.

Selling copiers is a competitive business. My biggest competitor was the business owner.........I kept finding our machines in my territory after he sold it to a call in.

I quit of course. I have been screwed in business about 1347 times by last count.

My job is fun, I'm in graphic design and advertising which always presents new pojects and challenges. Over the past year I've gotten to the point where I work on my own terms and have set aside enough time to go back to school.

 

[spentagn]

Does your job challenge you? Areyou exposed to new thigns or is it mundane?

My job has the potential to be challenging. The program I run is in need of re-engineering, and that's where the challenge/fun will be. The mundane part is being surrounded by career bureaucrats who don't have adequate training/education to best perform their jobs.

What do you do?

I run a program that issues CP to fund economic development at a local level.

How do you feel about it?

Due to some interesting circumstances, I'm paid 30% less than what the job posting offered. Other than that, I'm thrilled to be in charge of an exciting program that will hopefully benefit people, and not sink tax dollars.

Are the things you do now teaching you business skills that will help you later?

I deal regularly with banks/investment companies regarding government/ not-for-profit entities and fixed-income securities. It will be a good resume builder.

I'm 2nd in charge. I'm in charge of The Crew. I'm the office manage.

Being the only women it makes it difficult. I have to prove myself in this male dominated field.


Yes, I do learn different aspects of the business. So in turn, I
teach the ones that are not sure their responsibilities.

I think I get exposed to many new situations bouncing, and I love it, I think that by getting to work with the public in some of the situations I do will help me later talk to people effectivley when I am a Police Officer

 

[beefybull]

Re: Re: your job - a question or two...

when I am a Police Officer

 

[mountain muscle]

Mostly my job is pretty interesting and a lot different than the average.
I work on a land-based drilling rig in Colorado drilling for methane. At times the peoplle i have to deal with can be a bit frusterating. But, for the most part it still amazes me to be able to do a lot of the things we can do.
This job is just a stepping stone and i am putting my time in for now. A 12 hour a day job working 7 days in a row outside can wear you out fast and is hard on the body.
Looking to become a mud engineer or directional driller in the near future, both of which would pay me more money than i could spend and give me the on thing I truely want... a chance to travel and see the world on someone else's bill heh.

 

[calveless wonder]

I'm a loan officer.....going to school

It's very volatile and clientele comes in waves but that's what makes it exciting. Always interacting with different people, some good, some bad.....

You learn very valuable skills in sales, especially if you've never really done it before.

i also ran my own ebay business a few years back towards the end of high school/beginning of college.

 

[Raina]

My job doesn't challenge me. It often drives me crazy though because many of our procedures are illogical. It's not my cup of teat-- that's why I'm in school. I have to say that it's a lot more tolerable knowing that I'm well on my way to escaping and doing something I'm passionate about.

I'm exposed to new things, new assholes and a lot of people who think they are the shit and can back it up.

Researcher in the field of computing. Proprietor of 3 businesses of various type.

Feel? That is irrelevant. I think two of my three business are taking off, while my research career lays stagnant but sufficient. I have earned the reputation of an asshole/anti-socialite in my research institute. I meet too many people from different backgrounds to know what most of them actually think of me. At least when I first meet people I am generally very social and polite. I have a partner that is better at actual meetings... he tells me that my presence at business meetings is sometimes harmful to business relationships. That's not really my role though, so it doesn't matter too much.

My job is the same every day, process & input into the computer system lease and retail contracts for people who buy or lease cars. Now daily, the amount of contracts change, but it's basically the same.

What do you do?

Described above

How do you feel about it?

I like the work to a certain extent even tho it is mundane and I really like the dealers. Even tho they are car dealers I have a pretty good relationship with them. The company/management is another thing. Very old-boy network. Women are not promoted or promoted very rarely. We actually have a woman credit analyst -- finally! If the bosses don't like you or you don't kiss their ass then you will never get promoted. Which is why I'm being laid off in June.

Are the things you do now teaching you business skills that will help you later?

I know how to deal with assholes. But otherwise no not really.

 

[TC2]

I honestly totally dispise every minute I'm at work from start to finish.

I work with the trashiest of trash people and ghetto, low life, wellfare sucking pieces of shit for customers.

It has made me hate most people since 90% of my contact with other people is with these scumbags.

I'm working getting a new career as I type this though.

BTW I'm a meat dept manager/Butcher.

Kill me.

Then you haven't the slightest idea how to butcher meat and have never bothered to pick up a copy of the NAMP Meat Buyers Guide (the butchery bible), which is not likely either, seeing as how to get a decent butchers job you have to know it like you know the top of your dick.

Maybe learn your profession, then move on? Or not.

NAMP stands for North American Meat Processors Assciation.
I am a Certified Master Butcher and Licenced Meat Fabricator in 11 states. That would be States of the UNITED STATES.

Now I know you made that shit up about being a Butcher, because no one has insurance for a cutter so dumb he needs to be told not to hold the SHINEY part of the knife.

It irks me to no end when people say they are a butcher because some manager let them shrink wrap chopped beef for a few days.

All butchers know exactly what I said in that post.

Smart as a box of hammer handles. Sheesh.

# 1 Why the fuck would anyone want to brag about being a butcher(not that there's anything wrong with it)but why would you brag about it??


I've done this shit for over 11 years and I 've never once heard any of that crap that you were making up.

"NAMP stands for North American Meat Processors Assciation.

Here in Texas you don't need any of that since there's no union and its a worthless title.

It's like going to a bartender school to be certified to sling drinks.


I still think it's funny that you think someone would make up being a butcher.

On this site we lie about our cars bank accounts and cock size.

Does your job challenge you? Areyou exposed to new thigns or is it mundane?

What do you do?

How do you feel about it?

Are the things you do now teaching you business skills that will help you later?

In some ways it can be challenging. It is mostly negoiating and bargaining with business models and getting them to fall in place. The hardest part is usually having to find 8-12 doctors that are willing to go work someplace like AL, KY or Idaho.

I love my job. The hours are great. I only work about 7-8 days per month. The pay is great.

The things I am doing now certainly DO lend themselves towards my future efforts. All the networking I have done and connections I have made have deposited a virtual gold mine in my lap that I am going to be exploring and acting upon after the first of the year in establishing my own business.

Hey, no worries. You hate your job but for the past 11 years you have never bothered to learn anything about how to move up and/or out. No worries, you are into other things.

I am super obsessive/compulsive when it comes to knowing how to do the jobs of everyone that works for me. I needed to know how to help my bakers, so I moved to paris to learn more about bread and pastry from the best. I needed to know how to make cheese, so I moved to Brittany to learn from the best.

I needed to make a LOT more money, so instead of buying portioned meat, I learned how to butcher from the best, and taught my guys how to break down from Primal Cuts everything we needed. Meat on the menu went from a 34%-42% food cost down to sub 15%. In a 6 million dollar a year Food and Beverage business that aint chicken scratch.

Oh, and that shit I 'Made up'? You can learn it from here :Chicago Meat, or not. I do what I do the very best way it can be done or I dont do it, probably the same intensity level as the way you train.

One quick way to fix the fact that you hate your job is to actually DO something about it.

EDIT: by the way, I sold my last interest in the restaurant business in 98, I am into pixels these past few years

"Hey, no worries. You hate your job but for the past 11 years you have never bothered to learn anything about how to move up and/or out. No worries, you are into other things. "

Like I said in Texas you do not need all that. And I moved up as far as I want to, any higher and its the same pay + no bonuses + more hours and travel.

"I needed to make a LOT more money, so instead of buying portioned meat, I learned how to butcher from the best, and taught my guys how to break down from Primal Cuts everything we needed"

Are you talking about cuting hanging beef?? we can't get that here in Texas(atleast not with my company)

"One quick way to fix the fact that you hate your job is to actually DO something about it."

Actually I am and I should be out of this profession within the month.


Bottem line is the terms you were using are not common around here.

Okay. good for you on the getting out, its a good buiz to lose some fingers in.

Question, when you get a cryovac tenderloin to trim the chain off it and strip the silverskin or does it come completely trimed and ready to portion?

 

[benevolent anarchist]

It’s always great to know a good chef—even better to marry one. A close friend of mine married a Filipino girl who had been cooking for many years. They then moved to Poughkeepsie for a few years so that she could attend the CIA. I love going over their house for dinner.

Yeah I guy I used to work with got his hand caught in the tenderizer.(I'd rather get a couple finger chopped off than tenderized. It was his own fault though since he wasnt using the gaurd.

hmmm....it's been awhile since I've even carried them(The store I work in is not the demographic for them). Most of the time they are not completely trimmed and we sell them in the cryovac.

It depends though sometimes they send us supertrim beef and sometimes not.

We generally carry "select" with this company. Beef prices have shot through the roof this past 3 or 4 months.

There was a Pilipino girl in my class at CIA! Funny if it was the same girl, do you remember when she graduated? By the way, Hyde Park? where the school is? Is BEAUTIFUL, and if you get overwhelmed by its beauty, Poughkeepsie is just 10 minutes away! LOL

1. Yes, I have to work with sharp dealdines and high tolerances. It gets kinda old sometimes though, but new products get designed every once in a while and I get to help prototype stuff.

2. I am an ASME Certified, Stainless TIG Welder.

3. It is fun building things and working with shiny things. However, I am 23 now and looking ahead for other possibilities due to the fact that I do not want to be blind when (or if I live till) 40. It pays quite well for not having a college degree. Actually, it pays better than what a large percentage of college grads get. But it is totally dead end.

4. Yes, being an observational creature, I have learned volumes about business, finance, manufacturing, etc. However, there is still 95 percent of it I don't know yet.


I am looking into real estate as my way to the good life. If I am not independantly wealthy by the time I am 30, I will shoot myself. Seriously. Now that's a deadline.

 

[Taps]

I work for a bank part-time (I'm also a full-time student) --basically as a salesman for various financial products.

Actually, "work" is a pretty strong term for what I do. Mostly I sit around, do nothing and try to pass the time. I make one or two big sales each week, and the rest of the time I do fuck all. For the most part I'm bored to death, but I do find ways to occupy my workday. (Mostly homework, but I've managed to read all the existing Dark Tower books in the last two weeks on company time). There are a lot of pluses to my job, however, and I know a lot of people would love to do what I do. The money is good and I can pick and choose when I come into the office. Also, my boss is only around once every 3 weeks or so -- the rest of the time I can do whatever the I want..

I can't stress how dull the work is though. It's mind-numbing. While I'm in school its a good part-time gig, but I'm looking forward to a change.

Anyway, in five years or so, I'll be my own boss. Honestly, I think working for a living is total bullshit. I dislike work in general, and HATE working for someone else. Call me lazy, but the only thing I really want is controll over my time..and the only way to do that is by being self-employed.

 

[Lady Godiva]

I'm in my early stages of my career. Just started few months ago as a financial consultant for the CIBC but I'm still a trainee so my experience is till very limited. But I realized college was just a basic package and it's all about real life experience. I still have a lot to learn

You went to CIA. Small world, eh? I think it was 1997, but I’d have to check. Is that what it was called—Hyde Park? They lived in Poughkeepsie, so I assumed that was where the school was. I had never been to Poughkeepsie, but I drove up there for the big graduation dinner that the students prepare for everybody. The food was excellent, BTW.

I went in the mid '80s, but i was up there in 2000 to check out the new research library and nutrition building, really really cool. Its a great place to learn, not sure what the changes in the course structure have brought, but good folks coming out of there from what i hear.
