Too many people bash on office jobs.
I love working in an office but I appreciate I happen to work in a pretty great one. The idea of having set hours every day forever and I can just listen to music and work...ideal ****
I wish I could work in an office. I honestly don't mind the people I work with right now at the office job, but the physical space itself.
From young I always had to be moving and always had stuff going through my mind, so some part of me was always going going going. Time goes by fast, too, so I enjoyed that. I also thought I'd enjoy the slower pace of the office job.
I didn't realize the actual idea of the office job and sitting in the office and looking at the computer doing stuff that doesn't interest me would be the thing to put me off. The work, I envisioned that but I can tolerate that if I could tolerate sitting for long periods. But the physical act of sitting in that setting for 7-8 hours and having to do that work is crushing me.
I haven't had a single headache for 5 years and I've had them since Wednesday. My depression is the worst it's been since 5 years ago when I legitimately thought of doing harm to myself because I feel trapped. I know I can go out for walks for a few minutes and get some fresh air, but I always have to return and I dread sitting in that seat and looking at the computer.
When I took the job I had a feeling this could happen, too. I thought I could at least do it for the summer, though. I definitely didn't expect my mood to shift so much and loathe the physical setting so much.
At least now I know what paths to look at as my career and it's better I did this now at 22 rather than finishing school completely, taking on the debt, and realizing it when I was finished.
money guaranteed is fun but i rather have my own schedule, work from my own place and not having a boss telling me what to do.
mind you... some clients ask for the most stupid, unrealistic crap, but i can deliver it when i want.
i worked at videogame company in the past as a tester.
while it was so much fun. its till a job where you have no control and the schedule was ruff. so i cant imagine siting in a desk doing a job that i dont love.
(true story i lost the job because a comment i made right here in hf lolllll)
I'm kind of similar. I'd like to work for myself and have that freedom, but I'm also looking at firefighting and then doing something on the side.

If you can, go work in a hotel ...front desk or banquets, you meet interesting ppl and easy to work your way up the ladder...i got burnt out working accounting for one bc I ran out of options to be promoted...wish I'd never left
I might go back to the restaurant I was at before taking this job.
Funny thing was I legitimately wasn't even looking for another job, it was just FSWEP that sent my thing out and I ended up there. I have room to go up in the restaurant too, but if I can get the hours I'll just go back there until I do what I need to do (do the firefighting recruitment).
Admittedly, I'm also slowly getting a pull to pursue wrestling again even though I'm not AS into it as I was when I last got the pull.
