For nairalanders who have full time jobs. I have a couple of questions for you:

- Do you like your job? are you excited to wake up in the morning and get ready for work?

- Is your job related/ similar to the dream job you wanted when you were younger?

- Is it related/similar to what you studied (your major) at the University?

- How did you find your job? connections with friends/ family, posted vacancy, etc?

- How many jobs have you had since you started working full time.

- Do you think you'll change jobs in the near future?

The best job in the whole world!--Neonatal Pharmarcy specifically. Since I hate the site of blood and can't stand bedside care changing poopy diapers and rubbish! Did enough of that as an ungergrad student while in school. Too many diseases and germs around.  It gives me my own space.

Always ready to go and I am never late.  Usually get there 30-45 minutes early so not to miss anything!  Usually a bonding session before work starts with the docs, nurses, therapists and other departmental staff members---quality people--with brains!  It is always a party and lots of juicy gossips---- and lots of room to "flirt" shamelessly ---many friends to make and visit. Not stressful for my delicate behind and gives me a lot of free time.

Had to go back to school and switch completely from arts to the sciences.  Had to get another major to be "employable" and avoid dead end jobs. Actually had no dream in Nigeria--the goal was just to enter "any university" and be a "graduate" of  "something"! So did just that!

My school of pharmarcy had an internship program to write off my school loans if I committed to work with them for 2 years. Left them as soon as I finished and headed for place with better health care, retirement benefits and research opportunities for the future.

Have only had 2 jobs since I started and do not plan on going anywhere else.  Retirement looks good and I am planning on ending up in one of the research departments--- Pediatric Oncology to be specific!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now below are kinds of patients my department handles.  As you can see the 8 1/2 month or 34 weeker--Wenthworth Miller of a fellow with his caucasiona little tail- is about to attempt his own version of "prison break"--- Time for some Morphine or Ativan or Norcuron or Fentanyl or something!!! Just waiting for the doctor to write the order for the drugs!  I will cook it up and deliver it to his nurse as soon as possible--definitely intravenously.

He don lost his mind!!!!  The mumu was about to hit the damn floor.  Where im dey go?   The nurse that had this premie boy never recovered from the shock--and had to be sedated too.   Thank God the isolette's doors had hinges!  Those poor neonatal nurses!!! Can never do their job!!!!   They just had to share this joke with the whole floor.---Talk about serious heart attack!  We all had to have photo-shoot copies of this "little jail bird"!

I say the best job in the world!!!! These are the kinds of things that make my job environment heavenly--Something is always happening!!!!!!

@easybaby i dont knw. iask ma dad if i could get a job he said no. but whenever i do something wrong a give me a job dat he knws i hate and can stand it but anywaz i have to do it.

i luv my job.ur attitude towards ur job is wat u make it.i'v wonderful collegues,its exactly wat i studied in school.the work environ is great and the pay is greater.though with time,i'v decided i want to cross trades from IT into drilling/explorations job.besides it my first job after NYSC

- Do you like your job? are you excited to wake up in the morning and get ready for work?

I  am not excited.the environment in the place where i work has killed all that. it was not until my current job that i actually looked forward to public holidays etal.

- Is your job related/ similar to the dream job you wanted when you were younger?

naa-  what i dreamed of doing was becoming a successful scifi writer/game developer. some hard copy handwrien scripts aregathering dust somewhere in the house. . .

- Is it related/similar to what you studied (your major) at the University?

yep. I read electrical engineering

- How did you find your job? connections with friends/ family, posted vacancy, etc?

first job- family connection( can make  exit uncomfortable-after all I've done for you. . .  second and third- good old tuesday guardian(not so good anymore- can't get any correct vacancies - I may have to expand the net)

- How many jobs have you had since you started working full time.
this is the third. from one man biz-7 staff (power consultant @ n29000/mth 2003) to one man biz 45 staff building services consultant @ n45000 /mth 2004-2005 to oil co ( classified until exodus)

- Do you think you'll change jobs in the near future?
already working on it. . .

my best job was in the second company.a truly professional environment with opportunuities for growth, etc. those was the best working environment i was in. i hope i'll still be able to find something like it . .  .a bit of advice to all y'all starting out.a lot of small companies pay peanuts, but you often get a fanttsatic professional foundation . if i'd started my career in the place i work now, i'd be a well paid 'copy and paste' engineer. who learns by rote.

sure i love my job

connected to my major in school though more on the public health side (NGO)

not looking for any now

just to improve my skills and circulate around the same kind on job around the same groups of firms, , wetin man go do?

Do you like your job? are you excited to wake up in the morning and get ready for work?
I dont like my job, I simply love it. Evry morning and every other minute, I say 'thank You Lord' for this job. Wonderful work environment, beautiful people, great job specs, everything.

Honestly, just two days ago, i willingly chose to work all weekend and i had a misunderstanding with my fiance cos i told him i love my job more than every other thing in my life right now; apart from God and my family.

Is your job related/ similar to the dream job you wanted when you were younger?
Yea, this is every bit of what I wanted when I was in school- Management graduate now in to business strategy consulting

How did you find your job? connections with friends/ family, posted vacancy, etc?
Honestly, connection from a friend cos my firm don't do public job adverts(just in house)

How many jobs have you had since you started working full time.
This is my first post NYSC job. Though I had a bank job offer (after interviews and medicals)which paid a little better than what im earning right now; on the same day i got this job; i turned it down and took my consulting job.

Do you think you'll change jobs in the near future?
In the near future, no way. I ll eventually have to change someday cos variety is the spice of life.

U envy me right


everyone i know does

I like my job, will like to continue in the same line but with another company for very personal reasons which i might share later.

my job s ok.i love it cos its my passion,though the pay s ok,it s d only thing that makes it imperfect cos its not up to what i would like to earn.

i am sooo passionate about what i do, v longed to do this and it is in no way related to what i studied in school(french) though my boss say it is my USP.IT is a very interesting job and i have no plans whatsoever to change it! my salary is really okay.its my first job after NYSC and in case u r still wondering, it is called ADVERTISING! and am a brand manager, what more can a yung gurl like me ask for?

[size=13pt]I love my job so much that I can't wait for sweet Jesus Christ to save my butt from the hell! Quote Me![/size]

I love my job,since i'm still serving. But look forward to being staffed after my service year,i know God will do it for me.

Yeah well my job sucks! The pay's pitiful and on top of that we're yet to receive october pay (we're hoping and praying for november!) Anyway, I already told my boss I'm leaving at the end of the month (wonder why I waited so long). I started in March and it feels like I've been there a hundred years!

Lovely colleaques and great Team Leader
Applied online, went for interview and employed
Just 13 months on it now.

As they say, different strokes for different strokes.

But wait a minute, why stay long in a job you are not enjoying? What is the driving force?
I just can't understand why people will keep running to something they hate so much.

Do I sense fear at work here?

My people, if you don't like what you are doing, DO SOMETHING ELSE. Life is too short
to be spent in drudgery.
