I was treated poorly by supervisors, on call 24/7, took advantage of, treated unfairly, the list goes one an on. I ended up quitting after I graduated with my masters degree, because I didn't need the job. The job was great cause it was salary and 2x as much as I ever made. It also counted as my internship, so when I finished school, I quit. I couldn't take it anymore. I'm not working now, because I don't know what I want to do. My master's degree is in mental health, but I don't really want to do that :(Whitney @ EHFARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574672293112274871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922169968197517205.post-53330930194982980492012-03-24T08:53:07.346-06:002012-03-24T08:53:07.346-06:00As much as I love your crazy {non-serious} side - ...As much as I love your crazy {non-serious} side - I love your serious side too.

I on the other hand, can't stand mine. I dream of the day when I am not here dealing with sick patients yelling at me. Yes, working 3 days a week is awesome, but everything else just blows. I have looked for new jobs and nothing amounts to the pay that I am making now. It's a hard life out there!!! The work force is brutal and it is very hard to find a new job now!

Someone people go their whole lives working a job they hate, stuck in a rut & miserable every day. So props to you for inspiring others to go out & seek that dream job!

That video had me in tears, and you are so right on every level about doing something that you LOVE doing..<br /><br />I've been working at Dell in IT sales for over 2 yrs and as it has been the best job I've had financially and with crazy amazing benefits- it is SO stressful! LONG hours, always a little afraid of getting laid off - but most importantly something that I am NOT even close to being passionate about ---<br /><br />I'd been praying about it for so long and finally I've decided to go back to school for what I AM passionate about - Nursing. You are an inspiration for taking charge and going after what you believe!

Just yesterday in fact, I talked to a natural health doctor about what I could do to help myself, instead of medications, since I'm trying to get pregnant. She told me all of these different things they could do, and to fix what actually causes the problem-and it's all natural. AND safe to do if I do get pregnant. So THANK YOU for working where you do, and helping people :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129860380061595692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922169968197517205.post-54015622236415748622012-03-21T12:48:17.520-06:002012-03-21T12:48:17.520-06:00Don't think I've commented before so "...Don't think I've commented before so "Hi!!".

I'd give anything to not just be another face in a cubicle and to actually be doing something I enjoy and am making a difference. I've never liked any of my jobs, the first couple out of college were "assistant" positions and I knew I didn't go to college to be someone's assistant. Now, I work in insurance, and I'm making better money, but I'm still out in cubicle city, and have awful co-workers and a micro-manager boss. Needless to say, I'm miserable. <br /><br />This post was so inspiring, and I now it's time for me to take charge of my so-called career and turn it into a career and something I don't dread waking up 5 days a week for.Kate at Green Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104665064880942943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922169968197517205.post-21744054483953701832012-03-21T12:23:15.446-06:002012-03-21T12:23:15.446-06:00I love this.

I wake up 5 days a week dreading where I have to go 40+ hours a week. I have been very lucky with my job as they have paid for me to get my Bachelor's Degree, but I am ready to DO something with my life. I'm bored with just working to pay the bills.
