I prayed day and night for a job and God gave me...not my dream job but I thought I could manage.
But what happens when you are are not happy in your job. I try to enjoy it but I don't love what I'm doing. Does anyone else feel this way and how do you cope. cuz I always felt I should love my job but I dont. And it's not about the money ey

Suck it up, hold on tight and keep on applying cos we gonna hit Jackpots soon

If d pay is perfect, mehn u just have to love it

@ It is well. Of course, many people will flood this thread that you should just suck it up and do your job since you are at least getting paid but there are some stages one gets in life that not loving your job or feeling fulfilled gradually kills you inside. In fact, unlike a jobless person that may easily garner the sympathy of people, others will be envious of you and will try to shut you up if you try to complain in the face of this recession.

I won't say I am in your shoes because I love what I am doing right now; but I once worked in a place for few months where the pay was very okay for a fresh graduate, the boss was nice and colleagues weren't too bad. BUT, I just knew I was in the wrong place and never felt comfortable at all. And I know myself, there is nothing that will make me love the job regardless of the pay. What I did was to take actions rather than complain because in the naija environment, people may roll their eyes at such 'ingratitude'.

So, identify the field that you love and work towards it while you put your best in what you are currently doing. I also believe whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. And at least, man must chop. But start setting time aside to work towards what you love (maybe applying for jobs in that line or doing some certifications or registering with a body or saving and researching on furthering your education abroad) so one doesn't look back with regret and complain he or she existed, instead of living.

I know things are hard, 'there are no jobs'...etc...but we are all also entitled to be happy.

Lastly, your thread should have been opened at the Career section instead of here. #My opinion. #
