Not at all if they/you hate the job that much then do something else, no one needs to be that unhappy in a job. Life is much more important, loving a job is a bonus. If I didn't like what I do then I'd find something I did like, which to be fair sounds like your doing anyway, all the best and HNY!

I've done about a sqillion different jobs including being a builder/roofer for twenty plus years. Got out after too much theft including a van and more tools than you can shake a stick at plus the back was requiring more and more trips to the chiro. Went into direct sales then and worked for Telewest, Next call telecoms, Kitchens Direct, British Gas, Sainsbury's energy, sold mobiles door to door for 3, then started working for several charities some as a volunteer too, at the moment I work for Plumbs doing loose covers curtains reupholstering etc etc etc. Seems ok but painful working with an iPad. My favourite part time job was in the late seventies working for a local newspaper group racing around the southwest meeting up in weird places with the reporters and collecting their rolls of film to go with their stories so that it would get in the papers next day. My lightweight racer of choice was a fiftysix AJS six fifty twin. I did that for about a year, I wonder if they'd have me back now ??? I also really loved some of the leadwork and welding lead especially and I can still see most of it to this day. Ozziedog,,,, ,,,, So what's your faves?
I'm a quantum mechanic. Actually I work for your favourite national railway infrastructure service supplier where I come up with plans for deploying complex and expensive new signalling technologies that will solve all of you commuting problems - and what do we do when they don't work? We come up with another plan! Yay!

A brief employment essay. Left school aged 14. Got a job in a Timber shop. Having lied about my age. At 18 I went to Rolls. Not lying about my age. At 22 started doing the rounds with main dealers. 27 back to Rolls. 32 landscape gardening. 34 broken back. Wheelchair 18 months. Then a couple of years wasting money from winning court case. Househusband. Cab driver. Selling heroin to school children. The last bit isn't true. I'm 48 not lying about my age.....
I'm resting, dahling, like an actoor ... Seriously, worked on various consumer stuff as an electronic then software engineer for years, the last 12 as a software manager for a US company that makes the innards for smartphones: Android stuff and, indeed, the iPhone. Sounds glam, but is a relentless death march. Cashed in my stock and jacked it in before I went round the bend. That was about 4 years ago, but I've started twitching again - I might "un-retire" myself this year. What a mug, eh?
